Does Cohere API publish a per-token price?
Partly, by Cohere's own page.
The pricing page shows only legacy models, but a docs model page gives Command A at $2.50 input / $10 output per 1M tokens.
Yes means: Per-token prices are on a public page with no sign-in. Partly means only some models are priced in public, or the price sits on a model page rather than the pricing page.
- 2Yes
Does Cohere API publish its rate limits?
Yes, by Cohere's own page.
The docs publish per-endpoint and per-model limits for trial and production keys, though some newer models say to contact sales.
Yes means: The docs give request or token numbers for each tier or model. Partly means some numbers, such as a concurrency cap or the top tiers only; no means the numbers are only shown inside a signed-in account.
- 3Partly
Does Cohere API train on your API prompts by default?
Partly, by Cohere's own page.
Paying customers can opt out of training in dashboard settings, while trial-user data may be used for research.
Yes means: Here no is the good answer: the provider's page says what you send its API is not used for training unless you opt in. Yes means it is unless you opt out; partly means it depends on the plan, the tier or the upstream provider.

Does Cohere API say how long it keeps your prompts and outputs?
Partly, by Cohere's own page.
Paying customers' logged prompts and outputs are deleted after 30 days, but no period is given for trial users.
Yes means: A stated period, or a statement that nothing is kept by default. Partly means a period for some users or requests but not others.
