Rerank Multilingual v2 (Cohere)
Yes — Rerank Multilingual v2 is retired. Cohere deprecated it on December 2, 2024 and shut it down on April 30, 2025; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Rerank v3.5.
The cross-language half of the v2.0 rerank pair, retired alongside its English sibling on 30 April 2025. Its existence is the reason rerank-v3.5 was a simplification as much as an upgrade: from v3.5 onward you no longer choose a language scope when you pick a reranker.
