What should you check before using it?
256,000 context, 8,000 output tokens
Cohere model that supports tool calling, structured output and streaming. Knowledge cutoff: 2024-08.
Why use it through MixRoute?
command-a-03-2025 runs tools and structured output here
Tool calling and structured output run on that route as well. MixRoute serves command-a-03-2025 on the OpenAI-compatible endpoint /v1/chat/completions; point your existing client at https://api.mixroute.ai/v1 with the model ID command-a-03-2025 and re-run your integration tests.

Capabilities & compatibility
Unconfirmed capabilities stay "Unknown," no guesses
Tool calling
command-a-03-2025 supports function and tool calls.
tools definition; the response returns tool_calls to execute and feed results back.
Structured output
command-a-03-2025 can produce JSON-formatted output on demand.
response_format: { type: "json_schema" } forces valid JSON output.
Streaming
command-a-03-2025 supports streamed responses.
stream: true streams tokens incrementally, so chat UIs render as they arrive.
OpenAI SDK
Call command-a-03-2025 through MixRoute's OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
base_url to https://api.mixroute.ai/v1; everything else follows the OpenAI style.

FAQ
Before switching production traffic to command-a-03-2025, run a pilot on a representative slice of your traffic and check output quality, latency at peak concurrency, and cost per request. Verify the error and retry behaviour, and confirm the request limits you depend on match your plan.
One endpoint, a testable decision
