Verification

Sources and methodology

Pricing and limits are source-tracked and may change. Verify current values with the provider before making production purchasing decisions.

Calculator profile rule: standard is the verified default. The August 2024 API snapshot replaced the lower-priced model line's earlier March snapshot and remains listed as live. Cohere recommends evaluating Command A for new workloads.
