## Model Details

| Latest Model    | Status                        | Description                                                                                                                                                            | Modality | Context Length | Maximum Output Tokens | Endpoints                                                     |
| --------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `command`       | Deprecated September 15, 2025 | An instruction-following conversational model that performs language tasks with high quality, more reliably and with a longer context than our base generative models. | Text     | 4k             | 4k                    | [Chat](/reference/chat),  [Summarize](/reference/summarize)   |
| `command-light` | Deprecated September 15, 2025 | A smaller, faster version of `command`. Almost as capable, but a lot faster.                                                                                           | Text     | 4k             | 4k                    | [Chat](/reference/chat),  [Summarize](/reference/summarize-2) |

The Command family of models responds well with instruction-like prompts, and are available in two variants: `command-light` and `command`. The `command` model demonstrates better performance, while `command-light` is a great option for applications that require fast responses.

## FAQ

### Can users train Command?

Users cannot train Command in OS at this time. However, our team can handle this on a case-by-case basis. Please email [team@cohere.com](mailto:team@cohere.com) if you’re interested in training this model.

### Where can I leave feedback about Cohere generative models?

Please leave feedback on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/co-mmunity).

### What's the context length on the command models?

A model's "context length" refers to the number of tokens it's capable of processing at one time. In the table above, you can find the context length (and a few other relevant parameters) for the different versions of the command models.
