command-r-08-2024 is an update of the Command R with improved performance for multilingual retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and tool use. More broadly, it is better at math, code and reasoning and is competitive with the previous version of the larger Command R+ model.
Read the launch post here.
Use of this model is subject to Cohere's Acceptable Use Policy.
To get started, you can use Command R (08-2024) via API like this:
fetch("https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}`,
"HTTP-Referer": `${YOUR_SITE_URL}`, // Optional, for including your app on openrouter.ai rankings.
"X-Title": `${YOUR_SITE_NAME}`, // Optional. Shows in rankings on openrouter.ai.
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"model": "cohere/command-r-08-2024",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "What is the meaning of life?"},
],
})
});You can also use OpenRouter with OpenAI's client API:
import OpenAI from "openai"
const openai = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
apiKey: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
defaultHeaders: {
"HTTP-Referer": $YOUR_SITE_URL, // Optional, for including your app on openrouter.ai rankings.
"X-Title": $YOUR_SITE_NAME, // Optional. Shows in rankings on openrouter.ai.
}
})
async function main() {
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "cohere/command-r-08-2024",
messages: [
{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }
],
})
console.log(completion.choices[0].message)
}
