Re. what ever happened to Cohere’s Command-A series of models?

Hey everyone, Nick Frosst here from Cohere. A few months ago Aidan (my cofounder) left a comment in here about our Command series and how we were working on some more powerful, open-weights models behind the scenes. We just launched Command A+ and we wanted to share it with you guys.

TLDR is we built a really efficient model. It’s our first MoE model, which is exciting. There’s obvs work to do on top-line performance but it’s easily looking like one of the fastest and most responsive models in our category. We also pulled off some incredible quantization work so it runs really well on even 1 or 2 GPUs.

Like with R7B, we really prioritized making the model practical, so smaller teams and devs could realistically use it to build the kind of agents we ship for our platform customers. That’s also why it’s under Apache 2.0. Just total, near unfettered access to a pretty awesome model.

We’re enterprise-first but honestly, we get so much out of our open-source community that makes us more innovative and creative. The feedback you give will almost certainly influence how we think about models and product going forward…... as it already has here from getting called out the last time haha.

So, don’t hold back. Share your thoughts, your projects, whatever. You can see the full details here https://cohere.com/blog/command-a-plus We appreciate you :)
