Editorial

Choose Command A+ if…

Nothing in the recorded numbers favours Command A+ over Codestral 2508. Pick it for what our records do not cover — your own tests, or an account you already have with Cohere.

  • output dominates your bill: $0.90 per 1M output against $1.50
  • your prompts are long: it takes 256,000 tokens against 192,000
  • work can wait: it lists a batch tier and the other does not

Each reason is a fact from the tables above. Picking between them is our judgement, and we do not benchmark quality: price and context are what we can measure, so test both on your own prompts before you commit.
