Command A - Enterprise agentic model

Command A is a highly performant model from Cohere for enterprise use cases, positioned around tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, and multilingual workflows. The official docs describe it as a text-only model with a 256K context window and support for structured outputs and reasoning.

Core Design

Cohere states that Command A is significantly more efficient at inference time. The docs also say it is interactive by default and optimized for conversation.

Operating Pattern

The model is documented as especially strong in real-world enterprise tasks that require breaking questions into subgoals, active information seeking, and financial numerical manipulation. Cohere also notes that it can respond in the user's language or follow instructions to output a different language. The model supports citations when working from grounded document snippets.
