Announcing Major Command Deprecations

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering advanced AI solutions, we are deprecating the following models, features, and API endpoints:

Deprecated Models:

command-r-03-2024 (and the alias command-r)
command-r-plus-04-2024 (and the alias command-r-plus)
command-light
command
summarize (Refer to the migration guide for alternatives).

For command model replacements, we recommend you use command-r-08-2024, command-r-plus-08-2024, or command-a-03-2025 (which is the strongest-performing model across domains) instead.

Retired Fine-Tuning Capabilities: All fine-tuning options via dashboard and API for models including command-light, command, command-r, classify, and rerank are being retired. Previously fine-tuned models will no longer be accessible.

Deprecated Features and API Endpoints:

/v1/connectors (Managed connectors for RAG)
/v1/chat parameters: connectors, search_queries_only
/v1/generate (Legacy generative endpoint)
/v1/summarize (Legacy summarization endpoint)
/v1/classify
Slack App integration
Coral Web UI (chat.cohere.com and coral.cohere.com)
