Command A+

Cohere · released May 20, 2026

FlagshipOpen weights

Cohere's flagship: an Apache-2.0 open-weights model that folds reasoning, image input, tool use and 48-language support into one model sized for one or two data-centre GPUs. It is aimed at enterprise agents and retrieval in private deployments, not at the top of the leaderboards.

Best for: Private enterprise deployment · Retrieval and tool use · Multilingual work
