Command A is the newest model in Cohere's Command family, its line of enterprise-focused large language models. Cohere's launch announcement leads with maximum performance at minimal compute, claiming the model matches or outperforms GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 on agentic enterprise tasks with much greater efficiency. It is built for real-world enterprise work such as tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, and multilingual use cases.
