What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
Historical distribution inference: the original provider announcement identifies this dated model as a Cohere API/Playground offering and distinguishes it from earlier versions. Reviewed distribution evidence offers managed access, not downloadable original weights. Public tokenizers or later public Command R/A weights do not establish an open release of this original version.
