+Outputs include Markdown/HTML content, HTML-formatted tables, bounding boxes, and image descriptions — preserving both document structure and layout for easier rendering and processing.
+
+Key specs: 8K context window · ~4.6GB model size · Markdown output

+Cohere Parse is available through the Parse API, as well as Microsoft Foundry and AWS SageMaker. For single-tenant deployment, Parse is also available in Model Vault.
