Measured quality across Cohere models

Our own probe suite at temperature 0, scored by deterministic checks — no LLM judge and no vendor claim. Measured on request, so most of the catalog is unscored; a blank is not measured, never a low score. Confidence falls when probes could not be read, which happens on models that answer in a hidden reasoning channel.

One API for every Cohere model

VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Newest first, priced or not. A model with no price is a fact about what its sellers publish, not a gap we are hiding.

Frequently asked

How many models does Cohere have?

We track 5 Cohere models across 1 category, 4 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.

Can I buy Cohere models directly from Cohere?

Yes — we hold offerings sold by Cohere itself (as cohere), alongside 1 other hosts. Buying direct is not automatically cheapest: each model page lists every seller with its price and the evidence behind it.

Are Cohere models open weights?

None of the Cohere models we track publish weights, so they can only be used through an API.
