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 R+ is a 104B-parameter language model from Cohere, announced on April 4, 2024 for enterprise retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads. Its weights are published for non-commercial use.
Model B — Baidu
ERNIE 5.1 is Baidu's latest ERNIE model, derived from ERNIE 5.0 with total parameters cut to about one-third and active parameters to about one-half; Baidu says it took about 6% of the pre-training cost of comparable models. It is served through Baidu's Qianfan platform with a 128k context.

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.
