Introducing Command R: Our State-of-the-art Model for Advanced Retrieval and Sequential Reasoning

Get ready to unlock the power of our state-of-the-art model, Command R+, which excels at structured data processing, sequential reasoning, and is competitive against GPT-4 Turbo Cloopus - all without breaking the bank!

1. A state-of-the-art model that excels at structured, advanced reasoning and sequential tasks has been developed.
2. The model is competitive with GPT for Turboprocoloops and is much smaller.
3. The developers have worked hard on a family of models at their company, coh.
4. This year, the team focused on pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Language Models (LLMs).
5. In March, they released Command R, a model optimized for retrieval-augmented generation, which is scalable and small enough to be skill-friendly.
6. Command R+ was then launched, a model optimized for tool use and advanced retrieval-augmented generation.
7. The LMC Arena was also debuted, with the developers being proud of this achievement.
8. After the release of these models, there has been an incredible response from the community.
9. The models have trended on OpenRouter and have been downloaded over 150,000 times from Hugging Face.
10. Hugging Chat uses Command R as a base model, featuring tools such as a doc parser, image editor, and calculator.
11. Approximately half a million developers and researchers are using the R family of models.
12. The developers are committed to building top-notch tools for builders.
13. Challenges faced in model usage include prompt sensitivity, natural bias towards the beginning of documents, and differentiating between conversation history and retrieved information.
14. Post-training optimization has been done to improve the Model Behavior for addressing external information needs.
15. Citations are a major focus for the developers, as they allow users to verify information and reduce hallucination.
16. Command RNR Plus exhibits best-in-class performance on standard Kilt data sets.
17. A user interface (UI) has been developed to make it easier to work with RAG and Tool use.
18. The UI is open-source, allowing users to download and build with it.
19. The developers have focused on optimizing tool use, particularly in the enterprise context.
20. Two flavors of tool use have been developed: single-step (useful for single actions or independent actions) and multi-step (ideal for sequences of actions building on previous ones).
21. A multi-step API has been released, allowing models to create plans and adapt them based on the tools used and the results obtained.
22. Command R+ has competitive performance with Clot Oppos Gp4 Turbo but is three to five times cheaper.
23. The developers' family of models performs well on standard complex reasoning benchmarks, rivaling or outperforming Gb4 Turbo.
24. Exciting upcoming releases are expected, with a focus on further improvements in multi-step capabilities.
