The release includes two variants: embed-v5.0-pro for highest retrieval quality and embed-v5.0-fast for low latency and high throughput, sharing a common embedding space. New features include multimodal inputs, 128k token context window, support for 100+ languages, and Matryoshka embeddings with flexible dimensions.
north-small-translate-1-0
September 10, 2026
Cohere released North Small Translate, an open-weights mixture-of-experts model purpose-built for machine translation across more than 50 languages and locale variants. The model features 218 billion total parameters with 25 billion active parameters and a 16K context length. It is available through the free-tier Chat V2 API, as FP8 open weights for non-commercial use, and through Model Vault with a commercial license.

September 9, 2026
Cohere released North Small Translate, an open-weights mixture-of-experts model purpose-built for machine translation across more than 50 languages. It is designed for researchers, developers, and enterprises to flexibly evaluate and deploy machine translation while retaining control over their data.
parse-v5.0
August 27, 2026
Cohere released Parse (parse-v5.0), a 2.3B-parameter multimodal model that converts complex documents into clean, structured Markdown for downstream AI workflows. It extracts text in reading order, tables, lists, forms, images and captions, page boundaries, and visual element locations. Outputs include Markdown/HTML content, HTML-formatted tables, bounding boxes, and image descriptions.
cohere-transcribe-arabic-07-2026
July 9, 2026
Cohere released Cohere Transcribe Arabic, an open-source speech-to-text model fine-tuned from Cohere Transcribe using Arabic speech data. It supports all major Arabic dialects and English spoken with an Arabic accent, and is described as the most accurate open-source Arabic ASR model available. It is optimized for production inference and throughput with a 2B parameter conformer-based encoder-decoder architecture.
north-mini-code-1-0
June 14, 2026
Cohere released North Mini Code, their first agentic coding model. It is a 30 billion total / 3 billion active parameter Mixture of Experts model trained specifically for agentic coding tasks. The model is small enough to run on local hardware and is available via the Chat V2 API and as open weights on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0 license.
