Command R, on the other hand, is great for simpler retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and single-step tool use tasks, as well as applications where price is a major consideration. We offer a full model overview in our [documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models). -"What is the difference between Aya and Command R models?" + Aya specializes in human-like multilingual text generation and conversations, ideal for content creation and chatbots. Command R excels at understanding and executing instructions, enabling interactive applications and data-driven tasks.This makes it more suitable for many enterprise use cases. You can check out [this link](https://cohere.com/research/aya) to learn more about Aya models, datasets and related research papers. -"How does Cohere's language model compare to other LLMs like GPT-4, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others?" + Cohere’s Command models have strong performance across enterprise tasks such as summarization, multilingual use cases, and retrieval augmented generation.
