Cohere API pricing
20 Cohere models: text, embeddings, rerank, document ocr, from price book 2026-10-22.
Billing rules Veqen applies
- Token models: cached input at the cache-read rate, cache writes at the write rate; batch and service tiers at their own rates where published; long-context rates once the full prompt passes the threshold.
- Rerank models: per query.
Also recognized as: cohere_chat (framework, gateway and OpenTelemetry names).
