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**Beam 1.0.** The Reflection API is OpenAI-compatible, with an OpenAPI document, strict structured outputs and tool calls, and error codes that say when to retry, and the weights are Apache-2.0. It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call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### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cohere Chat API (Command models) or Beam 1.0?\n\nCohere Chat API (Command models) scores 64.7 (B) on agent readiness against Beam 1.0's 53.4 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Cohere Chat API (Command models) and Beam 1.0 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cohere Chat API (Command models) and Beam 1.0 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cohere Chat API (Command models) has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cohere.com/v2/chat and Beam 1.0 at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-reflection-beam.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cohere-chat-vs-reflection-beam.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cohere-chat\", \"b\": \"reflection-beam\"}`.
