Cohere command model for multilingual enterprise agents, tools, and chat
Command A by cohere is offered by 10 providers on this page. Its official list price is $2.50 per 1M input tokens and $10.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is OpenRouter at $0.30 / $1.50 per 1M, about 8.3× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 13.1 on the Intelligence Index, with 27.8 for coding and 1 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $0.60 per 1M, that is roughly 22 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 156 tokens per second, with 0.49s 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. Accepted input modalities are Text and Image. 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.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
