Cohere
Overview¶
Instructor supports Cohere API - you can find the details on how to configure the client in the example below.
Mode compatibility: - OutputMode::MdJson - supported, recommended as a fallback from JSON mode - OutputMode::Json - supported, recommended - OutputMode::Tools - partially supported, not recommended
Reasons OutputMode::Tools is not recommended:
- Cohere does not support JSON Schema, which only allows to extract very simple, flat data schemas.
- Performance of the currently available versions of Cohere models in tools mode for Instructor use case (data extraction) is extremely poor.
Example¶
<?php
use Cognesy\Polyglot\Inference\Inference;
use Cognesy\Utils\Str;
require 'examples/boot.php';
$answer = (new Inference)
->using('cohere') // see /config/llm.php
->with(
messages: [['role' => 'user', 'content' => 'What is the capital of France']],
options: ['max_tokens' => 64]
)
->get();
echo "USER: What is capital of France\n";
echo "ASSISTANT: $answer\n";
assert(Str::contains($answer, 'Paris'));
?>
