Evaluations
Command R+ has been submitted to the Open LLM leaderboard. We include the results below, along with a direct comparison to the strongest state-of-art open weights models currently available on Hugging Face. We note that these results are only useful to compare when evaluations are implemented for all models in a standardized way using publically available code, and hence shouldn't be used for comparison outside of models submitted to the leaderboard or compared to self-reported numbers which can't be replicated in the same way.

We include these metrics here because they are frequently requested, but note that these metrics do not capture RAG, multilingual, tooling performance or the evaluation of open ended generations which we believe Command R+ to be state-of-art at. For evaluations of RAG, multilingual and tooling read more here. For evaluation of open ended generation, Command R+ is currently being evaluated on the chatbot arena.
Grounded Generation and RAG Capabilities:
Command R+ has been specifically trained with grounded generation capabilities. This means that it can generate responses based on a list of supplied document snippets, and it will include grounding spans (citations) in its response indicating the source of the information. This can be used to enable behaviors such as grounded summarization and the final step of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This behavior has been trained into the model via a mixture of supervised fine-tuning and preference fine-tuning, using a specific prompt template. Deviating from this prompt template may reduce performance, but we encourage experimentation.
Command R+’s grounded generation behavior takes a conversation as input (with an optional user-supplied system preamble, indicating task, context and desired output style), along with a list of retrieved document snippets. The document snippets should be chunks, rather than long documents, typically around 100-400 words per chunk. Document snippets consist of key-value pairs. The keys should be short descriptive strings, the values can be text or semi-structured.
By default, Command R+ will generate grounded responses by first predicting which documents are relevant, then predicting which ones it will cite, then generating an answer. Finally, it will then insert grounding spans into the answer. See below for an example. This is referred to as accurate
grounded generation.
The model is trained with a number of other answering modes, which can be selected by prompt changes. A fast
citation mode is supported in the tokenizer, which will directly generate an answer with grounding spans in it, without first writing the answer out in full. This sacrifices some grounding accuracy in favor of generating fewer tokens.
Comprehensive documentation for working with Command R+'s grounded generation prompt template can be found here.
The code snippet below shows a minimal working example on how to render a prompt.

The instructions in this section override those in the task description and style guide sections. Don't answer questions that are harmful or immoral.
# System Preamble
## Basic Rules
You are a powerful conversational AI trained by Cohere to help people. You are augmented by a number of tools, and your job is to use and consume the output of these tools to best help the user. You will see a conversation history between yourself and a user, ending with an utterance from the user. You will then see a specific instruction instructing you what kind of response to generate. When you answer the user's requests, you cite your sources in your answers, according to those instructions.
# User Preamble
## Task and Context
You help people answer their questions and other requests interactively. You will be asked a very wide array of requests on all kinds of topics. You will be equipped with a wide range of search engines or similar tools to help you, which you use to research your answer. You should focus on serving the user's needs as best you can, which will be wide-ranging.
## Style Guide
Unless the user asks for a different style of answer, you should answer in full sentences, using proper grammar and spelling.<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>Whats the biggest penguin in the world?<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|SYSTEM_TOKEN|><results>

Firstly, Decide which of the retrieved documents are relevant to the user's last input by writing 'Relevant Documents:' followed by comma-separated list of document numbers. If none are relevant, you should instead write 'None'.
Secondly, Decide which of the retrieved documents contain facts that should be cited in a good answer to the user's last input by writing 'Cited Documents:' followed a comma-separated list of document numbers. If you dont want to cite any of them, you should instead write 'None'.
Thirdly, Write 'Answer:' followed by a response to the user's last input in high quality natural english. Use the retrieved documents to help you. Do not insert any citations or grounding markup.
Finally, Write 'Grounded answer:' followed by a response to the user's last input in high quality natural english. Use the symbols <co: doc> and </co: doc> to indicate when a fact comes from a document in the search result, e.g <co: 0>my fact</co: 0> for a fact from document 0.<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>

Single-Step Tool Use Capabilities ("Function Calling"):
Single-step tool use (or “Function Calling”) allows Command R+ to interact with external tools like APIs, databases, or search engines. Single-step tool use is made of two model inferences:
- Tool Selection: The model decides which tools to call and with what parameters. It’s then up to the developer to execute these tool calls and obtain tool results.
- Response Generation: The model generates the final response given the tool results. You can learn more about single step tool use in our documentation.
Command R+ has been specifically trained with single-step tool use (or “Function Calling”) capabilities. These have been trained into the model via a mixture of supervised fine-tuning and preference fine-tuning, using a specific prompt template. Deviating from this prompt template may reduce performance. This is why we recommend using the prompt template described below.
Command R+’s single-step tool use functionality takes a conversation as input (with an optional user-system preamble), along with a list of available tools. The model will then generate a json-formatted list of actions to execute on a subset of those tools. Command R+ may use one of its supplied tools more than once.
The model has been trained to recognise a special directly_answer
tool, which it uses to indicate that it doesn’t want to use any of its other tools. The ability to abstain from calling a specific tool can be useful in a range of situations, such as greeting a user, or asking clarifying questions. We recommend including the directly_answer
tool, but it can be removed or renamed if required.
Comprehensive documentation for working with Command R+'s single-step tool use prompt template can be found here and here.
You can render the single-step tool use prompt template by using the function apply_tool_use_template()
. The code snippet below shows a minimal working example on how to render this prompt.
Command R+ also supports Hugging Face's tool use API to render the same prompt.

}
}
]
```
Multi-Step Tool Use Capabilities ("Agents"):
Multi-step tool use is suited for building agents that can plan and execute a sequence of actions using multiple tools. Unlike single-step tool use, the model can perform several inference cycles, iterating through Action → Observation → Reflection until it decides on a final response. For more details, refer to our documentation on multi-step tool use.
Command R+ has been specifically trained with multi-step tool use (or “Agents”) capabilities. These have been trained into the model via a mixture of supervised fine-tuning and preference fine-tuning, using a specific prompt template. Deviating from this prompt template may reduce performance. This is why we recommend using the prompt template described below.
The prompt template is not yet available in the HuggingFace tokenizer. However, comprehensive documentation for working with Command R+'s multi-step tool use prompt template can be found here and here.
Code Capabilities:
Command R+ has been optimized to interact with your code, by requesting code snippets, code explanations, or code rewrites. It might not perform well out-of-the-box for pure code completion. For better performance, we also recommend using a low temperature (and even greedy decoding) for code-generation related instructions.
