Cohere Labs released a native-resolution VLM that preserves aspect ratios instead of downsampling to a fixed grid, trained heavily on documents, charts, OCR, and grounding. Catch worth knowing before you wire it into a document pipeline: the language backbone carries 128K context but the validated multimodal range is only 8K tokens. Cohere positions it as a fine-tuning foundation, not a finished product.
