Production keys do not cover the four newest Command models, whose limits are set by sales, and the SaaS agreement lets Cohere share API data with third parties.\n\n**Glimpse.** Glimpse reads images and video at $0.60 input and $3.00 output per million tokens, and OpenRouter serves it with tools, structured output and a 262,144-token context. It is a research preview with no public Elorian docs, model card or status page, and Elorian's terms allow training on submitted content unless a paid user opts out.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cohere Chat API (Command models)\n\n1. Call `POST https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat` with `Authorization: bearer \u003ckey\u003e`. `model` and `messages` are the only required fields\n2. Use `command-a-03-2025`, `command-r-08-2024`, `command-r-plus-08-2024` or `command-r7b-12-2024` for production traffic. Newer variants stay at trial limits on a production key\n3. Keep a trial key under 20 chat requests a minute and 1,000 calls a month, and do not use it for commercial work\n4. Set `response_format` with a `json_schema` for structured output, and tell the model to produce JSON when using `json_object` without a schema\n5. Ask the account Owner to turn off training under Data Controls in the dashboard before sending confidential prompts\n\n### Glimpse\n\n1. Call it through OpenRouter as `elorian/glimpse` at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions. Elorian's own API docs sit behind a console sign-in\n2. Send video as a `video_url` content part, as a public URL or a base64 data URL. Batch requests are not available for this model\n3. Set `max_tokens` yourself. The endpoint allows up to 256,000 output tokens, and visual reasoning spends many of them\n4. Honour Retry-After on 429 and 503. With a single provider, a 503 means the Together deployment is unavailable, not that another host can take over\n5. Treat counts and timestamps as unverified. Elorian's terms say outputs need independent human review before anyone relies on them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere Chat API (Command models) or Glimpse?\n\nCohere Chat API (Command models) scores 64.7 (B) on agent readiness against Glimpse's 48.6 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Cohere Chat API (Command models) and Glimpse need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cohere Chat API (Command models) and Glimpse without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cohere Chat API (Command models) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat and Glimpse at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-elorian-glimpse.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-elorian-glimpse.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cohere-chat\", \"b\": \"elorian-glimpse\"}`.
