[Cohere](/en/providers/cohere/)

Last reviewed: 14 Oct 2026

## Sovereignty and hosting

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

## Summary

Command A+ (command-a-plus-05-2026) is Cohere%E2%80%99s open-weights 219B-parameter model under Apache-2.0, taking text and images and declaring 48 languages. Cohere publishes FP8 and W4A4 checkpoints with the hardware each needs; at BF16 the weights need a multi-GPU node.

Not verified: the provider has not documented this claim. %E2%80%94 a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

## When to use it

#### Strengths

- Apache-2.0 licence on a flagship-scale checkpoint
- 48 declared languages, covering most EU official languages
- image input for document workflows
- vendor publishes quantised checkpoints with hardware requirements

#### Limits

- 219B parameters need a multi-GPU node at BF16
- the model card documents 128K input context while config.json allows 200000 positions
- no evaluation has been run by LLM EU

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Command A+ (05-2026) served on LLM EU?

It has no endpoint in the catalogue, so it is catalogue only %E2%80%94 not hosted on LLM EU yet, with no region and no retention to report. A card whose status is "listed" is a catalogue entry, not a running deployment.

### Under what licence is Command A+ (05-2026) released?

Command A+ (05-2026) is recorded under apache-2.0. The recorded licence text is https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0. The weights are downloadable (open_weights is true). LLM EU republishes the licence id and the link and gives no legal advice; the licence text governs.

### How large is Command A+ (05-2026), and what context window does it have?

Command A+ (05-2026) is recorded at 218.8B (safetensors total 218,750,277,872) (source: https://huggingface.co/api/models/CohereLabs/command-a-plus-05-2026-bf16), with a context window of 131072 tokens (source: https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/command-a-plus-05-2026-bf16).

### Pricing

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

### Verification status

Where a field has no source, the card shows it as unverified instead of filling it in. An empty field is information.

LLM EU Verified means documented, not legally certified. It is not an AI Act conformity assessment and LLM EU is not an EU body.

### Example request

```
curl https://api.llmeu.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMEU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"command-a-plus-05-2026","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
```

No playground is deployed for this model: no endpoint serves it, so a request would have nowhere to go.

### Benchmarks

No published evaluation. This is a gap, not a hidden result.
