Cohere model switched off after 1 year and 5 months
Cohere's retrieval specialist. It always cited its sources, which is more than can be said for most obituaries.
command-r-plus, a Cohere model that answered questions, wrote emails and was blamed for both, was switched off on September 15, 2025, aged 1 year and 5 months. Code that still calls it will find out the hard way.
Its work passes to command-a-03-2025, which the family describes as 'recommended'.
