Command A

Cohere's most performant model for the enterprise

Overview

What it is

We build high performance, secure language models for the enterprise. Our customizable, high-performance language models work on public, private, or hybrid clouds to ensure data security & exceptional support.

Intent

I need it when

Integrate AI capabilities into existing enterprise systems without replacing current workflows or outsourcing data

Command A integrates with Cohere's North platform (all-in-one AI workplace) and supports customization by training on proprietary data. The model works within existing systems through API access or private deployments, enabling teams to automate tasks and surface insights grounded in enterprise data.

Access cutting-edge language model capabilities for complex reasoning, multimodal tasks, and tool orchestration

Command A is positioned as Cohere's fastest and most powerful language model yet, featuring agentic capabilities, multimodal intelligence, and unified tool orchestration in a single model. It supports complex workflows and is available as open-source, enabling both API-based and self-hosted deployment options.

Deploy AI models securely within private infrastructure while maintaining full data control and compliance

Command A can be deployed through Model Vault (Cohere's dedicated, fully managed platform) within a virtual private cloud (VPC), on-premises, or on Cohere-managed infrastructure. This ensures data stays under customer control with multi-layered protection and industry-certified security standards.

Scale AI inference from proof-of-concept to production with predictable, transparent pricing

Command A offers flexible pricing: free trial API keys for experimentation, pay-as-you-go production keys billed monthly on token consumption, and Model Vault fixed-rate monthly/hourly commitments for predictable costs at scale. Billing occurs at month-end or when reaching $250 in outstanding balances.

Build enterprise AI applications with high-performance language models that support agentic workflows and multiple languages

Command A provides high-performance generative models optimized for agentic performance with minimal compute overhead, unified reasoning, tool orchestration, and multimodal intelligence. Supports 49 languages for global communication, enabling developers to build production-ready AI applications at enterprise scale.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires completely open-source, self-hosted models with no API dependency or commercial licensing
  • Organization has zero budget for AI and cannot use trial-only tier due to production requirements
  • Use case demands real-time latency under 50ms with guaranteed SLA that Cohere does not publicly commit to
  • User needs models trained exclusively on non-English data without multilingual support
  • Organization requires perpetual licensing or one-time purchase model instead of consumption-based billing
