How we price

Order

Providers are listed cheapest input rate first, then by output rate, a tie going to the creator's own listing. A provider that lists the model without a published rate sits at the end.

Prices

Base-tier, on-demand rates in USD per 1M tokens, converted at ECB reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. Cached-input and batch rates show only where a provider publishes them. "Cheapest" marks the one provider with the lowest input and output pair; a tie wears no badge.

Cost

Input rate times the input tokens plus output rate times the output tokens, at the monthly volume set above the table. Cached-input, batch, long-context and reasoning-token billing are not modelled.

Transparency and funding

Heads up: Base-tier, on-demand rates per 1M tokens; cached, batch and long-context tiers excluded. A provider may serve a shorter context or a quantized build than the creator's release. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.

Estimated cost to self-host

Command A Vision needs about 66 GB of GPU memory at 4-bit with 32K context. The cheapest rental that fits is 8× RTX 3060 at about $461 a month.

What it costs to self-host Command A Vision at each precision: the memory it needs, the cheapest rental that holds it, that rental's month and the API volume it pays off at

Estimates based on median on-demand rates for Nvidia GPUs. Memory is weights plus KV cache for one request, using FP8 KV cache where supported and FP16/BF16 otherwise. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. Pricing methodology.

Common questions

What is Command A Vision good for?

Visual document work: charts, diagrams, tables, OCR and image questions, in 6 languages. CC-BY-NC weights, servable on a single high-memory GPU for non-commercial use.

When is Command A Vision not a good fit?

Tool use: it has no function calling, and no audio or video input. Commercial self-hosting needs a separate licence from Cohere, and its short maximum output limits long answers.

What is the cheapest way to run Command A Vision?

No provider we track hosts it; self-hosting on the cheapest rental that fits (8x RTX 3060, $0.64 per hour) costs about $461 a month.

Can I self-host Command A Vision?

Yes. The weights are CC-BY-NC licensed. At 4-bit it needs about 66 GB of GPU memory, which starts at roughly $461 a month on the cheapest rental that fits.
