Cohere

Cohere Command-R is a 35B parameter multilingual large language model designed for long context tasks like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and calling external APIs and tools. The model is specifically trained for grounded generation and supports both single-step and multi-step tool use. It supports a context length of 128K tokens.

You can find all the original Command-R checkpoints under the Command Models collection.

Click on the Cohere models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Cohere to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text with Pipeline or the AutoModel, and from the command line.

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="text-generation",
    model="CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("Plants create energy through a process known as")

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")

# format message with the Command-R chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How do plants make energy?"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.3,
    cache_implementation="static",
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

# pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
transformers chat CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01 --dtype auto --attn_implementation flash_attention_2

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses bitsandbytes to quantize the weights to 4-bits.

import torch
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", quantization_config=bnb_config, attn_implementation="sdpa")

# format message with the Command-R chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How do plants make energy?"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.3,
    cache_implementation="static",
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Use the AttentionMaskVisualizer to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer

visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
visualizer("Plants create energy through a process known as")

Notes

• Don't use the dtype parameter in from_pretrained() if you're using FlashAttention-2 because it only supports fp16 or bf16. You should use Automatic Mixed Precision, set fp16 or bf16 to True if using Trainer, or use torch.autocast.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a CohereModel. It is used to instantiate an Cohere model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PreTrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PreTrainedConfig for more information. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01 model.

Construct a Cohere tokenizer. Based on byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This uses notably ByteFallback and NFC normalization.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
>>> tokenizer.encode("Hello this is a test")
[5, 28339, 2075, 1801, 1671, 3282]

If you want to change the bos_token or the eos_token, make sure to specify them when initializing the model, or call tokenizer.update_post_processor() to make sure that the post-processing is correctly done (otherwise the values of the first token and final token of an encoded sequence will not be correct). For more details, checkout [post-processors] (https://huggingface.co/docs/tokenizers/api/post-processors) documentation.

You can get around that behavior by passing add_prefix_space=True when instantiating this tokenizer, but since the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

When used with is_split_into_words=True, this tokenizer needs to be instantiated with add_prefix_space=True.

This tokenizer inherits from PreTrainedTokenizerFast which contains most of the main methods. Users should refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.
