Cohere: Command A
The Cohere Command A is a language model designed for processing text input. It can handle context lengths of up to 256,000 tokens and supports text modality as an input format. This model may be suitable for users who require high-context applications and are willing to pay $2.5 per million input tokens and $10.0 per million output tokens. Its blended benchmark score is 8.4 across two independent benchmarks, but its performance in specific areas like reasoning or tool support remains unproven due to a lack of supporting data.
