The global artificial intelligence sector has received significant news. Canadian AI startup Cohere recently officially launched its new language model, Command A Reasoning, designed to meet the demanding requirements of complex reasoning tasks in business environments. This groundbreaking technology is expected to reshape the landscape of enterprise AI applications, demonstrating exceptional performance in areas such as agent-based workflows, end-to-end system building, and large-scale document analysis.
According to Cohere, Command A Reasoning has achieved impressive performance in multiple industry benchmarks, surpassing leading private models such as BFCL-v3 and Tau-bench. Technically, the model supports context windows of 128,000 tokens on a single GPU (H100 or A100) and scales up to 256,000 tokens on multi-GPU configurations, providing enterprises with flexible computing power configuration options. Through a hierarchical multi-agent system, the model decomposes complex requests into parallel subtasks, ultimately generating structured reports. It achieved top scores in both command-following and content depth tests.
Notably, Command A Reasoning places a strong emphasis on balancing security and practicality. Cohere rigorously safeguards against abuse risks through an internal evaluation framework, covering sensitive areas like child protection and violent content, while also avoiding overly restrictive measures for legitimate requests. The model research version is now available for free non-commercial use under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. Commercial deployment requires contacting the official sales team.
This launch comes at a critical time for Cohere, whose valuation has soared to $6.8 billion following the completion of a $500 million funding round. Founded by Aidan Gomez, co-author of the Transformer paper, the company recently hired Joelle Pineau, former VP of AI Research at Meta, to further strengthen its technical leadership. Analysts believe that the launch of Command A Reasoning signals a shift in enterprise AI from general conversational to deep reasoning, and its technical architecture is expected to set a new benchmark in the industry.
