Command A is a 111 billion parameter open-weights model from Cohere with a 256K token context window, designed for agentic, multilingual, and coding tasks.

Strengths

Handles long-form reasoning with extended context, supports multiple languages, and performs well on code-related workloads.

Best for

Building agentic systems, processing documents with lengthy context, and multilingual or programming-focused applications.

Limitations

As an open-weights model, it requires self-hosting or custom deployment infrastructure, which adds operational overhead compared to fully managed APIs.
