# Command R (08-2024)

[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 R (08-2024) is a 32B retrieval-augmented-generation model with a 128K-token context window, published under CC-BY-NC-4.0. That licence allows research and non-commercial use of the weights but excludes commercial serving and requires accepting Cohere%E2%80%99s acceptable-use policy. The model is built for citation-backed answers over retrieved documents and for tool use.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Command R (08-2024) 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 R (08-2024) released?

Command R (08-2024) is recorded under cc-by-nc-4.0. The recorded licence text is https://cohere.com/c4ai-cc-by-nc-license. 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 R (08-2024), and what context window does it have?

Command R (08-2024) is recorded at 32.3B (safetensors total 32,296,476,672) (source: https://huggingface.co/api/models/CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-08-2024), with a context window of 131072 tokens (source: https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-08-2024).

### 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-r-08-2024","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.
