Command A+ is Cohere's model for text and image input, with a 192,000-token context window and up to 64,000 tokens of output per response. It supports tool calling and reasoning, so it can drive function-based workflows and work through multi-step problems. The available facts do not say whether it offers structured output or open weights, so teams that depend on either should check before committing. At $0.30 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens, it sits at the low-cost end, which suits long-document and high-volume workloads where the large context gets used. Its benchmark record is thin, with a blended score of 32.5 drawn from only three benchmarks. Within that record, coding (45.9) is noticeably stronger than agentic tasks (15.1). That pattern makes it a reasonable shortlist candidate for budget-conscious coding or document analysis. Teams building autonomous agents should test it against alternatives first.
