|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
command |
Deprecated September 15, 2025 | An instruction-following conversational model that performs language tasks with high quality, more reliably and with a longer context than our base generative models. | Text | 4k | 4k | Chat, Summarize |
command-light |
Deprecated September 15, 2025 | A smaller, faster version of command. Almost as capable, but a lot faster. |

The Command family of models responds well with instruction-like prompts, and are available in two variants: command-light and command. The command model demonstrates better performance, while command-light is a great option for applications that require fast responses.
