Note: Cohere Labs multilingual research model (23 languages) served on the Chat endpoint. The price comes from the cohere.com/pricing FAQ: 'Aya Expanse models (8B and 32B) on the API are charged at $0.50/1M tokens for input and $1.50/1M tokens for output.' The 8B variant was retired on April 4, 2026, so only the 32B model is still sold. The release date is left blank because no Cohere release note or launch post read on 2026-10-17 states the API launch date. Cohere does not publish cache or batch prices. Text-only. Not in the Vercel AI Gateway model list on 2026-10-17.
