### Which command-light does this page describe?

command-light is a model record from **Cohere** in the Command family. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

A separate version identifier is not documented in this record; the model name alone does not establish which snapshot a service runs.

### How can you access command-light?

The catalog documents **API** access  for command-light. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

As of the catalog check, this version was marked deprecated. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models) Check the linked lifecycle information before starting a new integration.

For API use, confirm the exact model identifier, your account and region, and the endpoint's current limits in the linked documentation. An API listing does not establish access through a consumer subscription.

### What are command-light's context and output limits?

The documented **context window is 4,000 tokens**. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

The documented **maximum output is 4,000 tokens**. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

Context, input and output limits describe different constraints. Do not add the figures together to infer a larger window. Check the endpoint's accounting for conversation history, system instructions, tools, media and generated tokens; a documented maximum is not a guarantee of answer quality or a measured usable capacity.

### What can command-light receive and generate?

Documented inputs: **text**. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

Documented outputs: **text**. [Source](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/models)

Input support and output generation are separate capabilities. Reading an image does not establish image generation; a text output listing does not establish speech output. File sizes, formats and media limits depend on the documented implementation.

**Catalog qualifications:** Cohere API lifecycle and nominal K-token limits are taken from its current API table; a retired API does not imply removal of downloadable weights.

**Evidence still missing here:** complete input/output pricing and knowledge and training-data cutoffs. Missing documentation is not evidence that a feature is unavailable.

Headless Thrones has not independently benchmarked this model for this reference. Evaluate it on representative work before choosing it; these facts do not rank its accuracy, reliability, speed or suitability against another model.
