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’s 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 — 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).
