Cohere Command A+
Command A+
Fast, enterprise-grade, and built around retrieval rather than around chat.
Updated
The read
Cohere has never chased the consumer market, and Command A+ is the result of that focus: a quick model designed to sit on top of a company's own documents, with citation behaviour, reranking and private deployment treated as first-class features rather than add-ons. For internal knowledge work it is a better fit than a general frontier model. Ask it to write code or reason abstractly and it falls behind.
Where it shines
- Built for retrieval, with citations that hold up
- Very high throughput for a model at this quality
- Private and on-premise deployment offered as standard
Worth knowing first
- Behind the frontier on coding and abstract reasoning
- Priced for enterprises, which shows on a small team's bill
