Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Embed 5 Fast

Embed 5 Fast is the lower-latency, cost-efficient tier of Cohere's Embed 5 family of multimodal embedding models (about 1B parameters). It embeds text, images, and interleaved text and image content into a single vector space and is suited for high-volume query embedding, agent loops, and multilingual semantic search across 100+ languages.

It shares its embedding space with Embed 5 Pro, so documents indexed with Pro can be queried with Fast. Output dimensions are selectable from 256 to 2048, and input_type defaults to search_document when not set.

Embed 5 Pro

Embed 5 Pro is the higher-accuracy tier of Cohere's Embed 5 family of multimodal embedding models (about 2.4B parameters). It embeds text, images, and interleaved text and image content into a single vector space and is suited for retrieval and RAG over long or domain-specific documents, visual and document search, and multilingual semantic search across 100+ languages.

It shares its embedding space with Embed 5 Fast, so a common pattern is to index a corpus with Pro and embed queries with Fast. Output dimensions are selectable from 256 to 2048, and input_type defaults to search_document when not set.

Rerank 5 Fast

Rerank 5 Fast is the low-latency tier of Cohere's Rerank 5 family of reranking models. It scores and reorders candidate documents against a query and is suited for high-throughput retrieval such as high-volume search, agent tool loops, and first-pass filtering before a more expensive step.

Relevance scores are calibrated to a 0-1 range so a fixed threshold behaves consistently across queries. Rerank 5 Pro is the higher-accuracy sibling for complex queries and long or domain-specific documents.

Rerank 5 Pro

Rerank 5 Pro is the higher-accuracy tier of Cohere's Rerank 5 family of reranking models. It scores and reorders candidate documents against a query and is suited for retrieval pipelines where ranking quality matters most: complex or reasoning-heavy queries, long or domain-specific documents, and RAG systems that feed a small number of passages to a generator.

Relevance scores are calibrated to a 0-1 range so a fixed threshold behaves consistently across queries. Rerank 5 Fast is the lower-latency sibling for high-volume search and agent loops.

Command A+

Command A+ is Cohere's flagship model for enterprise agentic workflows. It accepts text and image inputs with a 192K context window, supports native tool calling with strict tool schemas, structured outputs (JSON object and JSON schema), optional reasoning, and configurable safety modes.

North Mini Code (free)

North Mini Code is Cohere's first agentic coding model and the debut of its North family. A sparse mixture-of-experts model with 30B total parameters and 3B active, it is optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering, and terminal tasks, and is trained to generalize across agent harnesses such as OpenCode and SWE-Agent.

It offers a 256K-token context window with up to 64K tokens of output, supports interleaved reasoning and tool use via JSON schema, and is released open-weight under the Apache 2.0 license. Its small active-parameter footprint enables low-latency inference, including on local hardware.

Rerank 4 Pro

Cohere's AI search foundation model for enhancing the relevance of information surfaced within search and RAG systems. Features a 32K context window, multilingual support across 100+ languages, no data pre-processing required, and state of the art performance with low latency.

Rerank v3.5 is designed to reorder search results for improved relevance. It supports multi-aspect and semi-structured data reranking over 100+ languages. Ideal for refining results from semantic or keyword search pipelines.
