Cohere

Pass a model ID from the Cohere model catalog to Cohere. The default is command-a-03-2025.

Installation

uv pip install -U agno cohere

Authentication

Set CO_API_KEY. Create a key in the Cohere dashboard.

export CO_API_KEY=***

setx CO_API_KEY ***

Example

Use Cohere with your Agent:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.cohere import Cohere

agent = Agent(
    model=Cohere(id="command-a-03-2025"),
    markdown=True
)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")

Params

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`id`	`str`	`"command-a-03-2025"`	The specific model ID used for generating responses.
`name`	`str`	`"cohere"`	The name identifier for the model.
`provider`	`str`	`"Cohere"`	The provider of the model.
`temperature`	`Optional[float]`	`None`	The sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 1. Higher values make the output more random.
`max_tokens`	`Optional[int]`	`None`	The maximum number of tokens to generate in the response.
`top_k`	`Optional[int]`	`None`	The number of highest probability vocabulary tokens to keep for top-k-filtering.
`top_p`	`Optional[float]`	`None`	Nucleus sampling parameter. The model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass.
`frequency_penalty`	`Optional[float]`	`None`	Number between 0 and 1. Higher values reduce repetition based on each token’s frequency.
`presence_penalty`	`Optional[float]`	`None`	Number between 0 and 1. Higher values reduce repetition based on whether a token has appeared.
`seed`	`Optional[int]`	`None`	Random seed for deterministic text generation.
`logprobs`	`Optional[bool]`	`None`	Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens.
`request_params`	`Optional[Dict[str, Any]]`	`None`	Additional parameters to include in the request.
`strict_tools`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to use strict mode for tools (enforce strict parameter requirements).
`add_chat_history`	`bool`	`False`	Whether to add chat history to the Cohere messages instead of using the conversation_id.
`api_key`	`Optional[str]`	`None`	The API key for authenticating requests to the Cohere service.
`client_params`	`Optional[Dict[str, Any]]`	`None`	Additional parameters for client configuration.
`http_client`	`Optional[Union[httpx.Client, httpx.AsyncClient]]`	`None`	A custom httpx client to use for requests. Pass an `httpx.Client` for the sync client or an `httpx.AsyncClient` for the async client.
`client`	`Optional[CohereClient]`	`None`	A pre-configured instance of the Cohere client.
`async_client`	`Optional[CohereAsyncClient]`	`None`	A pre-configured instance of the async Cohere client.
