Cohere Command A and Embed 4 now generally available in GitHub Models

The latest AI models from Cohere, Command A and Embed 4, are now available on GitHub Models.

Embed 4 is a multilingual model that transforms text, images, and mixed formats into unified vector representations. It is well-suited for processing high-resolution images and extracting key details from files like PDFs, slides, and tables.

Try, compare, and implement Command A in your code for free in the playground. Both Command A and Embed 4 are also available through the GitHub API for seamless integration into your applications.
