Cohere command model for multilingual enterprise agents, tools, and chat
Command A by cohere is offered by 7 providers on this page. Its official list price is $2.50 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens.
Artificial Analysis rates it 22.8 on the Intelligence Index, with 27.8 for coding and 9.2 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $4.38 per 1M, that is roughly 5 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 246 tokens per second, with 0.41s to the first token.
The context window is 256,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 131,072 to 288,000, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports tool use and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-06-01.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
