Cohere Open Models: Model List and Licenses
About Cohere
Cohere is a Canadian AI company offering language models for enterprises. According to its card, the CohereLabs organization on Hugging Face belongs to Cohere Labs, Cohere’s research lab that tackles complex machine learning problems through fundamental research.
What It Releases
- Command A+ (May 2026): according to its model card, an MoE with 218B total and 25B active parameters, an enterprise model for agentic, multilingual and reasoning-heavy tasks that also accepts images. BF16, FP8 and W4A4 versions are available.
- North Mini Code 1.0 (June 2026): a 30B-A3B (about 3B active) research release optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering and terminal tasks.
- Tiny Aya (2026): small multilingual models of about 3.3B, in global, earth, fire, water and other versions.
- Speech recognition: cohere-transcribe (March and June 2026).
- Earlier Command A reasoning and translation models (111B) are also available.
Licenses
Newer and older models differ sharply. Command A+, North Mini Code and the speech recognition models are Apache-2.0. Tiny Aya and the earlier Command A models (reasoning, translation) are non-commercial CC BY-NC 4.0 and require agreeing on Hugging Face before download. Read each model’s license text before use. This summary is not legal advice.
Running Them Locally
- The only official GGUF builds are for Tiny Aya (as of 2026-09-26): Cohere itself publishes GGUF files of the global, earth, fire and water versions.
- For local use, Tiny Aya or North Mini Code are the candidates. Command A+ is 218B in total and does not fit on consumer hardware.

Recent Models on Hugging Face
The publisher lists 55 models in total on Hugging Face. Below are up to 15 of the most recent generative models (text, image, video, audio and so on), the scope of this site, per organization. Classifiers, feature extractors, research components and repositories without a model card are omitted, and the publisher’s own quantized builds and helper variants are folded into the row of the original model. Parameter counts are left blank for repositories that pack weights into integer types, where Hugging Face’s count is not the real parameter count.
