# Cohere Command R7B — deprecation status

> No — Command R7B is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. Cohere has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

A 7B model with a 128k window, the smallest thing in Cohere's Command line and the one aimed at running on a single commodity GPU. Cohere names it first among the chat replacements for the retired Aya 8B models, which makes it the like-for-like size match in that migration.
