AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — Cohere
Command A+ is a model from Cohere, released on May 20, 2026, which Cohere describes as its first mixture-of-experts model and the last in the Command A family, combining image input, reasoning, translation and agentic tasks. It supports 48 languages and can be deployed on one B200 or two H100 GPUs.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
