What happened
Between the Aug 24, 2026 and Aug 31, 2026 captures of Cohere's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New Parse 5 document-parsing model added to Model Vault, with Medium ($4.00/hr, $2,500/mo) and XL ($7.00/hr, $4,300/mo) performance tiers alongside existing Embed and Rerank models. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new plan) with an upward direction.
