Editorial

Choose Command A if…

Nothing in the recorded numbers favours Command A over Grok Build 0.1. Pick it for what our records do not cover — your own tests, or an account you already have with Cohere.

Choose Grok Build 0.1 if…

you pay by the token: it costs $1.00 per 1M input against $2.50
output dominates your bill: $2.00 per 1M output against $10.00

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.
