Command R+ August 2024
Command R+ August 2024 is a text model built around retrieval and multi-step tool workflows. It remains in Cohere's live catalog, while the older April release and its unversioned alias are deprecated.
Capabilities and access
The release supports tool planning across multiple inference steps. Its model card also covers code explanation and rewriting, with specific prompt guidance for running the weights. Cohere's current documentation points users toward newer Command A models for broader capability.Command R+ documentationCommand R+ August 2024 model card
When this model fits
Practical guidance. Use R+ as a baseline when an existing assistant already relies on its tool behavior. Review the complete sequence of tool requests, not just the final sentence. A model can produce a correct-looking answer after an unnecessary or incorrect action. New projects should compare the current Command A options using the same task set and source material before retaining this older release.
