Command A

The long-context (256K) dense workhorse for RAG, tool use and 23-language agents, and the only Command A variant with a real 500 req/min production rate limit — but Cohere pulled its list price off the public pricing page, so budget via sales.

How this model is billed. command-a-03-2025 is still listed as 'Live' on https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models (256k context, 8k max output, Chat endpoint), and https://docs.cohere.com/docs/rate-limits gives it a 500 req/min production limit. But the current cohere.com/pricing page no longer carries a Command A card: its 'Generative models' tab lists only Command A+ (Free, Apache 2.0), Command R, Command R7B and Transcribe, and its legacy-pricing FAQ covers only Command, Command-light, Command R 03-2024, Command R+ 04-2024 and Command R+ 08-2024. No per-token rate for Command A is published anywhere on cohere.com or docs.cohere.com as of 2026-09-06; the pricing page directs enterprise buyers to sales.
