Release identity
Dated Generate selector: small-20220926Source for Release identity (opens in a new tab)

The date embedded in a selector is not, by itself, a verified public release date or immutability guarantee.

Historical selector routing
From the December 2, 2022 change, calls to small-20220926 route to medium-20221108.Source for Historical selector routing (opens in a new tab)

A redirected request no longer proves access to the original model. This is routing history, not a second name for identical weights.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

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.
