## Questions

### How much does the Command R API cost?

Cohere's published list rate for Command R is $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.60 per 1M output tokens (checked 2026-10-05). The provider account you connect bills you at the rate on that account, so a negotiated rate replaces the list rate. INFRO adds 0% to model spend.

### Which providers serve Command R?

In INFRO's provider registry, Command R can be served by Cohere and OpenRouter. You connect your own account with any of them, and INFRO routes and fails over between the ones you connect.

### What is the Command R model ID?

Request it from INFRO as "cohere/command-r". INFRO sends each provider its own id: Cohere "command-r-08-2024", OpenRouter "cohere/command-r".

### How do I call Command R through an OpenAI-compatible API?

Point an OpenAI SDK, or any HTTP client, at https://api.infro.io/v1 with an INFRO gateway key and send model "cohere/command-r" to POST /v1/chat/completions. INFRO runs the request on a provider account you connected and returns the provider's response with an estimated cost.

### Does INFRO mark up Command R usage?

No. Cohere or the provider you connect bills model usage to your own account. INFRO charges a software subscription for routing, failover, observability, budgets and policy, and takes 0% of model spend.
