Note: Previous-generation model, still Live on docs/models. The cohere.com/pricing FAQ ('Where do I find pricing for our legacy models? For existing customers') lists it at $2.50/1M input and $10.00/1M output. The same price is on the model doc and in the August 30, 2024 refresh changelog. The FAQ wording suggests it is mainly sold to existing customers. The older command-r-plus-04-2024 and the `command-r-plus` alias were deprecated on Sept 15, 2025. Cohere does not publish cache or batch prices. Text-only. Not in the Vercel AI Gateway model list on 2026-10-17.
