About

Command A is Cohere’s open-weights model for agentic, multilingual, and coding use cases. It has 111 billion parameters and a 256,000-token context window, with text as its listed input and output modality. The model’s Hugging Face ID is CohereForAI/c4ai-command-a-03-2025, and its model ID is cohere/command-a. It was released on 2025-03-13. Pricing is USD 2.5 per 1 million input tokens and USD 10 per 1 million output tokens. For builders choosing a model to fit a stack, its open weights and published identifier are relevant alongside its stated use-case focus. The text-only input listing is important for teams whose workflows depend on images, files, or other modalities: those are not among the listed inputs. Its maximum output is 8,192 tokens, a constraint to account for in tasks that produce longer responses.

Who it is for

Command A may suit teams exploring open-weight models for agent, multilingual, or coding work. It is a text-input option, so it fits workflows built around text rather than other listed modalities.

What is good

  • Open weights
  • 111 billion parameters
  • 256,000-token context window
  • Focused on agentic, multilingual, and coding use cases

What to know first

  • Text is the only listed input
  • Maximum output is 8,192 tokens
  • Input costs USD 2.5 per 1M tokens

Verdict

Command A offers open weights, a large context window, and a stated focus spanning agents, multilingual use, and coding. Its text-only input and 8,192-token output ceiling are key constraints to weigh against those strengths.
