Command A+ is a mixture-of-experts model with 218B total parameters, of which 25B are active for each token. Cohere lists a context window of 128K tokens of input, with up to 64K tokens of output. The model accepts text and image input. The weights are released under Apache 2.0, which allows commercial use.
The official weights on Hugging Face take about 438 GB in BF16. Running the model needs at least that much memory across GPUs and system RAM, plus room for the context cache; quantized versions need less.
