Description
Command R+ is a large language model developed by Cohere, specifically optimized for conversational interaction and long-context tasks. It is designed to excel in complex Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows and multi-step tool use, making it highly suitable for production environments. The model is part of Cohere's flagship text-generation suite, which received a substantial update in August 2024. This update improved decision-making for tool use, instruction-following capabilities, and robustness to non-semantic prompt changes.

Command R+ is particularly effective for businesses looking to implement advanced AI solutions beyond proof of concept. It supports multilingual capabilities, performing well in languages such as English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Arabic. Additionally, it includes pre-training data for 13 other languages, allowing it to respond in the user's language and perform cross-lingual tasks like translation.
The model's retrieval augmented generation feature enables it to ground English-language generations, generating responses based on supplied document snippets and including citations. This enhances the quality and reliability of its outputs. Furthermore, Command R+ supports multi-step tool use, allowing developers to connect the model to external tools like search engines, APIs, and databases, enabling dynamic actions and reasoning based on external information.
Command R+ offers improved throughput and reduced latencies compared to previous versions, maintaining the same hardware footprint. It also includes safety modes for more granular control over output generation in various contexts. However, it is important to note that the model's training data is current only up to February 2023, so it may not provide accurate answers for information beyond that date. Nevertheless, its RAG functionality allows it to connect to the internet or other sources for more timely information.
