Our take

AI-assisted analysis based on the sources below. Suitability is an editorial assessment; test it on your own workload.

According to OpenRouter's catalog, Cohere Command A (cohere/command-a; canonical cohere/command-a-03-2025) is an open-weights, 111-billion-parameter text-to-text model with a 256,000-token context window and an August 31, 2024 knowledge cutoff. The catalog describes a focus on agentic, multilingual, and coding tasks and lists tool use plus structured-output controls. Those capabilities are source-reported rather than independently measured; this source pack includes no independent model card or benchmark results.[1]

Strengths

Catalog-reported open weights and 111 billion parameters.[1]
256,000-token context window and an August 31, 2024 knowledge cutoff.[1]
Supports tools, tool choice, structured outputs, response format, seed, and sampling controls.[1]

Limitations

Evidence is catalog-only; no independent model card was available in this source pack.[1]
No benchmark results or measured comparisons were supplied; validate performance on target workloads.[1]
The catalog lists only text inputs and outputs; other modalities are not evidenced.[1]

Where to use it

Potentially suited to agentic workflows requiring tool calling, subject to workload validation.[1]
Worth evaluating for multilingual or coding assistants where long context is useful.[1]

Tasks and capabilities

A grade appears only where the source supplies a matching measurement for that task, the model is active and the cohort holds at least 10 comparable models. The capability column lists facts the source declares — supported formats, reasoning and tool parameters — which are not measured quality.

Task	Grade	Source-declared capability
General quality	No measurement	—
Coding	No measurement	—
Agents	No measurement	parameters: structured_outputs, tool_choice, tools
Writing	No measurement	output: text
Reasoning	No measurement	—
Document analysis	No measurement	—
Vision	No measurement	—
Image generation	No measurement	—
Audio	No measurement	—

How grades work

Each letter grade compares a model only against other models scored by the same source and metric in the current snapshot. S means the top 10%, A the next 20%, B the next 30%, C the rest. Models without a published measurement are shown as not rated — a supported format alone never implies measured quality.

S — S — top 10% of the cohort
A — A — next 20% of the cohort
B — B — next 30% of the cohort
C — C — below the B band
