Your enterprise agents need to reason across 48 languages, process documents with images and tables, and orchestrate multi-step workflows all without switching models. Command A+, Cohere’s 218B-parameter mixture-of-experts model, is now available in Microsoft Foundry to do exactly that

Command A+ is Cohere’s latest open-source enterprise model. It combines reasoning, RAG, coding, and tool use in a single model—capabilities that previously required stitching together multiple systems.’. With Microsoft Foundry, developers can deploy Command A+ as a serverless API offering and bring Cohere’s newest model into the same environment where they build, evaluate, deploy, and operate AI applications.

A model built for enterprise agentic workloads

Command A+ brings together multiple capabilities from the Command family into a single model designed for real-world enterprise scenarios. It is Cohere’s first mixture-of-experts model, with 218 billion total parameters and 25 billion active parameters, giving teams a strong balance of capability and efficiency.

The model is optimized for workloads such as:

• Enterprise agents that need to reason, plan, and use tools


• Retrieval-augmented generation across business documents and knowledge bases


• Multimodal workflows that combine text and image inputs


• Multilingual applications for global organizations


• Coding and technical workflows that require structured reasoning


• Long-context document analysis and knowledge work

Command A+ supports a 128K input context window and up to 64K max generation, making it well suited for applications that need to work across large documents, complex instructions, or multi-step workflows. It also supports text, image, and tool-use inputs, with outputs for text, reasoning, and tool use.

For enterprises building agents, this matters. Agentic systems often need to understand a request, retrieve relevant context, call tools, inspect results, and continue working through a task. Command A+ is designed for these kinds of workflows, where reasoning, tool use, retrieval, and multilingual support need to work together.

Expanded multilingual and multimodal capabilities

Global enterprises need AI systems that can operate across languages, regions, and business contexts. Command A+ expands Cohere’s language support to 48 languages, including all official European Union languages, helping developers build applications for broader user bases and more diverse enterprise data.

Command A+ also brings multimodal input support, allowing developers to build workflows that process both text and images. This can be useful for document-heavy use cases such as forms, reports, screenshots, diagrams, scanned records, and other enterprise content where important information may not live in plain text alone.

Together, these capabilities make Command A+ a strong option for organizations building AI applications that need to support multilingual users, document understanding, and richer agentic workflows.

Example use cases

Command A+ in Microsoft Foundry can support a range of enterprise scenarios, including:

Enterprise knowledge assistants
Build assistants that can reason over internal documents, retrieve relevant context, provide grounded responses, and support employees across languages.

Agentic business workflows
Create agents that can use tools, interact with systems, and complete multi-step tasks such as research, analysis, support triage, or operational workflows.

Multimodal document processing
Process documents that include text, charts, tables, screenshots, and images, helping teams extract insights from complex enterprise content.

Developer and coding workflows
Support coding, debugging, code review, and technical analysis workflows that require structured reasoning and long-context understanding.

Global customer and employee experiences
Build multilingual applications for organizations operating across regions, languages, and business units.

Building with model choice and operational control

Microsoft Foundry gives developers access to a broad model catalog and the tools to build AI applications with greater control over model selection, evaluation, deployment, and operations. The availability of Command A+ adds another strong enterprise model option for teams that want open-source model flexibility at enterprise scale reliability.

As organizations move from pilots to production, they need the ability to evaluate models against their own data, compare quality and cost tradeoffs, and deploy models in ways that align with their infrastructure and governance requirements. Command A+ helps support that path by bringing Cohere’s latest enterprise model into Microsoft Foundry.
