Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.

Frequently asked questions

Command A is an open-weights 111B parameter model with a 256k context window focused on delivering great performance across agentic, multilingual, and coding use cases. Compared to other leading proprietary and open-weights models Command A delivers maximum performance with minimum hardware costs, excelling on business-critical agentic and multilingual tasks.

Command A costs $2.50/M input tokens and $10.00/M output tokens.

Command A has a 256,000 token context window. It supports up to 8,192 completion tokens.

No. Command A does not accept tools, so function calling is unavailable. It also supports structured outputs via a JSON schema in response_format.

Command A+, North Mini Code (free), Command R7B (12-2024) and 2 more are other text models from Cohere.

Command A was released on March 13, 2025. Its knowledge cutoff is August 31, 2024.

More models from Cohere

Command A+

Command A+ is Cohere's flagship model for enterprise agentic workflows. It accepts text and image inputs with a 192K context window, supports native tool calling with strict tool schemas, structured outputs (JSON object and JSON schema), optional reasoning, and configurable safety modes.

North Mini Code

North Mini Code is Cohere's first agentic coding model and the debut of its North family. A sparse mixture-of-experts model with 30B total parameters and 3B active, it is optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering, and terminal tasks, and is trained to generalize across agent harnesses such as OpenCode and SWE-Agent.

It offers a 256K-token context window with up to 64K tokens of output, supports interleaved reasoning and tool use via JSON schema, and is released open-weight under the Apache 2.0 license. Its small active-parameter footprint enables low-latency inference, including on local hardware.
