Cohere lists deprecated models with the date each stops being served. Some Cohere models also ship downloadable weights, so a retirement removes the hosted endpoint without removing the ability to run the model yourself.
We track 38 Cohere models, 5 of them with a published retirement date. 2 need attention now.
Deprecated models still answer but are superseded. Anything inside the 90-day window has a date attached and will stop answering on it.
| Model | State | Retirement | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| command-r-03-2024 | deprecated | Not announced | cohere/command-r-08-2024 |
| command-r-plus-04-2024 | deprecated | Not announced | cohere/command-r-08-2024 |
These ids no longer answer. If one appears in your code or in something an assistant wrote for you, it is already broken.

A list of dates only helps once you know which of these models your own traffic hits. One line of code meters the models your app actually calls, then reports the monthly spend sitting on each retiring id and what the move to its replacement costs.
Source: Cohere — Deprecations. Every record links the page it was parsed from and keeps Cohere’s own wording, so a normalization decision stays checkable.
