What this score means

On HumanEval, Command R+ 1.5B sits at #556 of 600. The leader, GPT-5.2 Pro, scores 96.8, so the gap to the top is 43.9 points. The median model in this index scores 77.4, which puts Command R+ 1.5B below the midpoint.

Cohere models average 72.5 on this benchmark. Command R+ 1.5B is 19.6 points below that provider line, so it is a weaker result than the average Cohere model.

Among small open-weight models, the average is 56.7. Command R+ 1.5B is 3.8 points below that group. This is the more useful comparison if you are shortlisting within the same tier rather than across the whole index.

Read a 52.9 as a relative signal, not an absolute guarantee. Benchmark scores depend on prompt format, evaluation harness and contamination controls. Use this page to narrow the shortlist, then test the model on your own data.
