Command R Plus
Cohere's flagship RAG- and tool-use-optimized model above Command R
Command R Plus is Cohere’s flagship model from the Command R generation, released in April 2024 with a 128,000 token context window and 104 billion parameters. Cohere built it for retrieval-augmented generation, multi-step tool use, and multilingual tasks, and launched it in partnership with Microsoft Azure as one of the first models in that generation to pair strong RAG performance with agentic tool calling. The model scores 75.7 on MMLU. Cohere published the weights on Hugging Face under a CC-BY-NC 4.0 license with an acceptable use addendum, so researchers can download and run it for non-commercial purposes for free, while commercial use requires a separate license or access through Cohere’s hosted API at $2.50 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. It sits above the smaller Command R model in Cohere’s lineup and was superseded by Command A in 2025.
