Cohere Python SDK

The Cohere Python SDK allows access to Cohere models across many different platforms: the cohere platform, AWS (Bedrock, Sagemaker), Azure, GCP and Oracle OCI. For a full list of support and snippets, please take a look at the SDK support docs page.

Documentation

Cohere documentation and API reference is available here.

Installation

pip install cohere

Usage

import cohere

co = cohere.ClientV2()

response = co.chat(
    model="command-r-plus-08-2024",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello world!"}],
)

print(response)

[!TIP] You can set a system environment variable CO_API_KEY to avoid writing your api key within your code, e.g. add export CO_API_KEY=theapikeyforyouraccount in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, open a new terminal, then code calling cohere.Client() will read this key.

Streaming

The SDK supports streaming endpoints. To take advantage of this feature for chat, use chat_stream.

import cohere

co = cohere.ClientV2()

response = co.chat_stream(
    model="command-r-plus-08-2024",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello world!"}],
)

for event in response:
    if event.type == "content-delta":
        print(event.delta.message.content.text, end="")

Contributing

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, the code is generated programmatically. Additions made directly would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!

On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
