EfficientEditorial Profile
Positioning, tradeoffs, and fit are consolidated into one read instead of repeating the same story across separate cards.
command-r-08-2024 is an update of the [Command R](/models/cohere/command-r) with improved performance for multilingual retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and tool use. More broadly, it is better at math, code and reasoning and is competitive with the previous version of the larger Command R+ model. Read the launch post [here](https://docs.cohere.com/changelog/command-gets-refreshed). Use of this model is subject to Cohere's [Usage Policy](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/usage-policy) and [SaaS Agreement](https://cohere.com/saas-agreement).
cohere text-first profile
Long-context research / Reasoning with extended context and heavy runtime.
Efficient spend profile. More comfortable for sustained prompt volume if the capability fit is right.
Large context headroom supports repo-wide prompts and long research sessions.
Budget-friendly input pricing is a strength, but raw capability may vary by workload.
Latency profile is better for deliberate runs than rapid back-and-forth chat.
Current metadata points to a text-first profile rather than a broad multimodal one.
Long-context summarization, repo analysis, and policy or document review.
Benchmarks
Only benchmark categories with actual signal are shown. Secondary values stay as simple definitions instead of nested micro-cards.
Specs & Pricing
Specs stay neutral, pricing gets emphasis through values rather than extra containers. Raw provider internals remain in metadata at the end.
This model is relatively efficient on price. It is the easier fit when sustained prompt volume matters.
Metadata
Verification details remain available, but the page no longer forces them ahead of the editorial read.
