Description
Cohere is an enterprise AI platform offering Command R models for text generation, Embed for semantic search, and Rerank for retrieval optimization. Command R+ ($2.50/$10 per MTok) handles complex tasks with 128K context, while Command R ($0.15/$0.60 per MTok) is cost-effective for retrieval-heavy applications. Command R7B ($0.04/$0.15 per MTok) is the most efficient option for lighter tasks. North is Cohere's all-in-one AI workplace platform, and Compass handles intelligent search and discovery.
