Command-R is a 35B parameter model that performs conversational language tasks at a higher quality, more reliably, and with a longer context than previous models. It can be used for complex workflows like code generation, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), tool use, and agents.
OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.
To get started, you can use Command R 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","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 =newOpenAI({ 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.}})asyncfunctionmain(){const completion =await openai.chat.completions.create({ model:"cohere/command-r", messages:[{"role":"user","content":"What is the meaning of life?"}]})console.log(completion.choices[0].message)}main()
See the Request docs for all possible parameters, and Parameters for recommended values.
