Amazon Bedrock retires Cohere Command R and Command R+
Amazon Bedrock reached its documented end-of-life date for Cohere Command R and Command R+ in us-east-1 and us-west-2. AWS says the model IDs cohere.command-r-v1:0 and cohere.command-r-plus-v1:0 can become unavailable on or soon after the date, requests can fail, and migration is not automatic.
Why it matters: This is a hard runtime dependency change rather than a model-quality announcement: hidden endpoint references can turn a stable retrieval or tool workflow into production errors unless teams inventory and migrate every call path.
