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’s 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. — a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

Frequently asked questions
Is Command A+ (05-2026) served on LLM EU?
It has no endpoint in the catalogue, so it is catalogue only — 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).
