Strengths

  • Fenêtre de contexte de 128K et capacité de sortie maximale de 33K tokens (SWE-bench Verified 60.5% · GPQA Diamond 74%)
  • Débit rapide de 68 tokens/seconde avec une latence au premier token (TTFT) de 560 ms
  • Poids ouverts (Confidential (~180B+ MoE)) permettant un déploiement sur site ou cloud privé via vLLM, SGLang ou Ollama

Limitations & Trade-offs

  • Nécessite des serveurs GPU dotés de suffisamment de mémoire VRAM pour l’inférence locale à pleine précision
  • Pour les charges à très fort volume, l’activation du cache de prompts et de l’API Batch est recommandée

Editorial Assessment

Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 58/100, un contexte de 128K et un débit de 68 tok/s, Command A Plus s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme Cohere.

Best for: Conçu pour l’auto-hébergement sur infrastructure privée, le fine-tuning et la souveraineté des données, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Command A Plus

How much does the Command A Plus API cost per 1M tokens?+

Command A Plus by Cohere is priced at $3 per 1M input tokens and $12 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.75 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Command A Plus pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Command A Plus's context window?+

Command A Plus features a 128K tokens context window, which equals approximately 96,000 English words or ~256 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 32,768 tokens.

Can I run Command A Plus locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Command A Plus (Confidential (~180B+ MoE)) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does Cohere train on data sent to the Command A Plus API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Open-Weights Research & Commercial License. Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.

How does Command A Plus perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

Command A Plus achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 58/100, scoring 60.5% on SWE-bench Verified, 74% on GPQA Diamond, 86.8% on MMLU-Pro, and 1410 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is Command A Plus best used for?+

Command A Plus is best suited for: Conçu pour l’auto-hébergement sur infrastructure privée, le fine-tuning et la souveraineté des données, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.. Assessment: Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 58/100, un contexte de 128K et un débit de 68 tok/s, Command A Plus s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme Cohere.
