    abstract = "We present Command A Translate, an LLMbased machine translation model built off Cohere{'}s Command A. It reaches state-of-the-art machine translation quality via direct preference optimization. Our meticulously designed data preparation pipeline emphasizes robust quality control and a novel difficulty filtering {--} a key innovation that distinguishes Command A Translate. Furthermore, we extend our model and participate at WMT with a system (CommandA-WMT) that uses two models and post-editing steps of step-by-step reasoning and limited Minimum Bayes Risk decoding."
