Command A+: pricing, context and benchmarks

What you need to know about Command A+

Command A+ was released by Cohere (Canada) on September 22, 2026. It accepts text and images as input and produces text. Its context window reaches 192,000 tokens, larger than 32 % of the models in the registry, and it can write up to 64,000 tokens in one go.

It is a recent model: real-world feedback and independent scores are still scarce.

Command A+ pricing

On OpenRouter, Command A+ costs $0.3 per million input tokens and $1.5 per million output tokens. Counting three tokens read for every token written, its average price is $0.6 per million, more expensive than 45 % of paid models (1.3 times cheaper than the median of $0.76).

A concrete example: a task that sends 2,000 tokens (about 1,500 words) and receives a 500-token answer costs $0.0014. At 1,000 tasks a day, budget $41 a month. The price calculator redoes this with your own volumes.

Tokens already sent and cached are billed at $0.15 per million.

Performance and benchmarks

Epoch AI does not yet publish a capabilities index for Command A+. We therefore show no made-up performance rating: only price, context and features count towards its score.

Features, privacy and local use

• It supports tool calling, so it can drive an AI agent, call APIs or MCP servers.
• It can answer in an enforced JSON format (structured outputs).
• It is a reasoning model: it "thinks" before answering, which helps on hard tasks but uses more output tokens.

Its weights are open: you can run it on your own machines without sending your data to a third party.
