# Announcing Major Command Deprecations

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering advanced AI solutions, we are deprecating the following models, features, and API endpoints:

Deprecated Models:

- `command-r-03-2024`  (and the alias `command-r`)
- `command-r-plus-04-2024`  (and the alias `command-r-plus`)
- `command-light`
- `command`
- `summarize` (Refer to [the migration guide](/guides/text-generation-summarizing-text#migration-from-summarize-to-chat-endpoint) for alternatives).

For command model replacements, we recommend you use `command-r-08-2024`, `command-r-plus-08-2024`, or `command-a-03-2025` (which is the strongest-performing model across domains) instead.

Retired Fine-Tuning Capabilities:
All fine-tuning options via dashboard and API for models including `command-light`, `command`, `command-r`, `classify`, and `rerank` are being retired. Previously fine-tuned models will no longer be accessible.

Deprecated Features and API Endpoints:

- `/v1/connectors` (Managed connectors for RAG)
- `/v1/chat` parameters: `connectors`, `search_queries_only`
- `/v1/generate` (Legacy generative endpoint)
- `/v1/summarize` (Legacy summarization endpoint)
- `/v1/classify`
- Slack App integration
- Coral Web UI (chat.cohere.com and coral.cohere.com)
