Command A Translate is Cohere's dedicated entry in the machine translation space, built as part of the Command A family and tuned for high-quality, low-error translation across 23 business languages. Cohere describes the model as a state-of-the-art translation system, and reporting at launch positioned it as outperforming leading AI tools including OpenAI's GPT-5, DeepSeek's V3, and Google Translate on the company's own evaluations. It is a 111-billion-parameter model that runs on one or two A100 or H100 GPUs, making it practical for private deployments where organizations need full control of their data. The model is open-weight and is also being made available on AMD Instinct GPU infrastructure for enterprise and sovereign use cases, broadening the deployment options for translation pipelines that require on-prem or regulated-environment hosting.

The model's design centers on translation quality rather than general-purpose chat, with the cataloged API limit input window and the cataloged API limit output budget that together support long passages and detailed localization work. It is offered through Cohere's Chat V2, Chat V1, and Chat Completions endpoints, and Promptfoo lists it alongside other Command A chat models, confirming its integration into standard Cohere chat interfaces. Cohere notes that Command A Translate is free for both trial and production keys until rate limits are reached, with paid production use handled through Cohere's sales team. For organizations that need a translation-focused model with strong enterprise controls, open weights for self-hosting, and broad language coverage, Command A Translate is positioned as a focused alternative to general LLMs being repurposed for translation work.
