Command R August 2024
Command R August 2024 remains a listed API model for text and retrieval workflows. The versioned identifier matters: the old command-r alias refers to the earlier March release.
Capabilities and access
The August model card documents multi-step tool use and code explanation or rewriting. For self-hosting, it recommends the documented prompt formats. Code completion is a different task from following instructions to change or explain code.Command R August 2024 model card
When this model fits
Practical guidance. This release is most useful as an explicit comparison point for an existing Command R integration. Keep the retrieved documents, tool definitions and requested output fixed when comparing newer models. Review citation accuracy as well as answer quality. Avoid changing to an unversioned name during migration, because a similar-looking identifier can point to a different model generation.
