Instructions to use CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-v01 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-v01 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-v01")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-v01")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereLabs/c4ai-command-r-v01")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

The frontend is supposed to support using RAG usage with this model.

I believe openwebui (with ollama) supports RAG, some extension on oogabooga may also do the same, but afaik openwebui comes with it standard

I believe openwebui (with ollama) supports RAG, some extension on oogabooga may also do the same, but afaik openwebui comes with it standard

But this model has his peculiar way of prompting RAG, which would probably yield optimal performances.
