Cohere Command R+

Command R+ arrived on 4 April 2024, three weeks after Command R, and was the first Cohere model aimed squarely at the top of the enterprise market. Where Command R had 35 billion parameters, Command R+ had 104 billion, and where Command R could call tools in a single step, Command R+ could chain them: call a tool, read the result, decide what to do next, call another. That difference is what turns a chatbot into an agent, and Cohere marketed it exactly that way. The rest of the recipe was shared with its smaller sibling — a 128,000-token context window, retrieval-augmented generation with inline citations, and ten optimised languages with pre-training data for thirteen more. Cohere's own guidance was to reach for R+ when a workflow needed complex retrieval or multi-step agents, and to stay with R when price mattered more. Price was the honest limit of that advice. At 3.00 dollars per million input tokens and 15.00 dollars per million output, Command R+ cost six times more on input and ten times more on output than Command R. The August 2024 refresh cut those figures to 2.50 and 10.00 without shrinking the model. The weights are on Hugging Face under CC BY-NC 4.0 — inspectable but not commercially deployable. Cohere deprecated this first version on 15 September 2025 and pointed customers at command-r-plus-08-2024 or Command A. No shutdown date has been announced, so existing users retain access; new customers cannot start with it.
