About llamafile
llamafile is a new format introduced by Mozilla Ocho on Nov 20th 2023. It uses Cosmopolitan Libc to turn LLM weights into runnable llama.cpp binaries that run on the stock installs of six OSes for both ARM64 and AMD64.
In addition to being executables, llamafiles are also zip archives. Each
llamafile contains a GGUF file, which you can extract using the unzip
command. If you want to change or add files to your llamafiles, then the
zipalign command (distributed on the llamafile github) should be used
instead of the traditional zip command.
License
The Command-R-Plus license requires:
You can't use these weights for commercial purposes
You have to give Cohere credit if you share or fine tune it
You can't use it for purposes they consider unacceptable, such as spam, misinformation, etc. The license says they can change the definition of acceptable use at will.
The CC-BY-NC 4.0 stipulates no downstream restrictions, so you can't tack on your own list of unacceptable uses too if you create and distribute a fine-tuned version.
About Quantization Formats (General Advice)
Your choice of quantization format depends on three things:
- Will it fit in RAM or VRAM?
- Is your use case reading (e.g. summarization) or writing (e.g. chatbot)?
- llamafiles bigger than 4.30 GB are hard to run on Windows (see gotchas)
Good quants for writing (prediction speed) are Q5_K_M, and Q4_0. Text
generation is bounded by memory speed, so smaller quants help, but they
cause the LLM to hallucinate more. However that doesn't mean they can't
think correctly. A highly degraded quant like Q2_K may not make a
great encyclopedia, but it's still capable of logical reasoning and
the emergent capabilities LLMs exhibit.
Good quants for reading (evaluation speed) are BF16, F16, Q8_0, and Q4_0 (ordered from fastest to slowest). Prompt evaluation is bounded by flop count, which means perf can be improved through software engineering alone, e.g. BLAS algorithms, in which case quantization starts hurting more than it helps, since it competes for CPU resources and makes it harder for the compiler to parallelize instructions. You want to ideally use the simplest smallest floating point format that's natively implemented by your hardware. In most cases, that's BF16 or FP16. However, llamafile is able to still offer respectable tinyBLAS speedups for llama.cpp's simplest quants: Q8_0 and Q4_0.

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.
Tool use & multihop capabilities:
Command R+ has been specifically trained with conversational tool use 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 will likely reduce performance, but we encourage experimentation.
Command R+’s 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 tool use prompt template can be found here.

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.
## Available Tools
Here is a list of tools that you have available to you:
```python
def internet_search(query: str) -> List[Dict]:
"""Returns a list of relevant document snippets for a textual query retrieved from the internet
Args:
query (str): Query to search the internet with

You can use any of the supplied tools any number of times, but you should aim to execute the minimum number of necessary actions for the input. You should use the `directly-answer` tool if calling the other tools is unnecessary. The list of actions you want to call should be formatted as a list of json objects, for example:
```json
[
{
"tool_name": title of the tool in the specification,
"parameters": a dict of parameters to input into the tool as they are defined in the specs, or {} if it takes no parameters

```
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.

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.
