ChatCohere integration

This notebook covers how to get started with Cohere chat models.

Head to the API reference for detailed documentation of all attributes and methods.

Setup

The integration lives in the langchain-cohere package. We can install these with:

pip install -U langchain-cohere

We'll also need to get a Cohere API key and set the COHERE_API_KEY environment variable:

import getpass
import os

os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass()

It's also helpful (but not needed) to set up LangSmith for best-in-class observability

os.environ["LANGSMITH_TRACING"] = "true"
os.environ["LANGSMITH_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your LangSmith API key: ")

Usage

ChatCohere supports all ChatModel functionality:

from langchain_cohere import ChatCohere
from langchain.messages import HumanMessage
chat = ChatCohere()
messages = [HumanMessage(content="1"), HumanMessage(content="2 3")]
chat.invoke(messages)
AIMessage(content='4 && 5 \n6 || 7 \n\nWould you like to play a game of odds and evens?', additional_kwargs={'documents': None, 'citations': None, 'search_results': None, 'search_queries': None, 'is_search_required': None, 'generation_id': '2076b614-52b3-4082-a259-cc92cd3d9fea', 'token_count': {'prompt_tokens': 68, 'response_tokens': 23, 'total_tokens': 91, 'billed_tokens': 77}}, response_metadata={'documents': None, 'citations': None, 'search_results': None, 'search_queries': None, 'is_search_required': None, 'generation_id': '2076b614-52b3-4082-a259-cc92cd3d9fea', 'token_count': {'prompt_tokens': 68, 'response_tokens': 23, 'total_tokens': 91, 'billed_tokens': 77}}, id='run-3475e0c8-c89b-4937-9300-e07d652455e1-0')

for token in stream.text:
    print(token, end="", flush=True)

chat.batch([messages])

Tool calling

Cohere supports tool calling functionalities!

from langchain.messages import (
    HumanMessage,
    ToolMessage,
)
from langchain.tools import tool
@tool
def magic_function(number: int) -> int:
    """Applies a magic operation to an integer
    Args:
        number: Number to have magic operation performed on
    """
    return number + 10


def invoke_tools(tool_calls, messages):
    for tool_call in tool_calls:
        selected_tool = {"magic_function": magic_function}[tool_call["name"].lower()]
        tool_output = selected_tool.invoke(tool_call["args"])
        messages.append(ToolMessage(tool_output, tool_call_id=tool_call["id"]))
    return messages


tools = [magic_function]
llm_with_tools = chat.bind_tools(tools=tools)
messages = [HumanMessage(content="What is the value of magic_function(2)?")]
res = llm_with_tools.invoke(messages)
while res.tool_calls:
    messages.append(res)
    messages = invoke_tools(res.tool_calls, messages)
    res = llm_with_tools.invoke(messages)

res
AIMessage(content='The value of magic_function(2) is 12.', additional_kwargs={'documents': [{'id': 'magic_function:0:2:0', 'output': '12', 'tool_name': 'magic_function'}], 'citations': [ChatCitation(start=34, end=36, text='12', document_ids=['magic_function:0:2:0'])], 'search_results': None, 'search_queries': None, 'is_search_required': None, 'generation_id': '96a55791-0c58-4e2e-bc2a-8550e137c46d', 'token_count': {'input_tokens': 998, 'output_tokens': 59}}, response_metadata={'documents': [{'id': 'magic_function:0:2:0', 'output': '12', 'tool_name': 'magic_function'}], 'citations': [ChatCitation(start=34, end=36, text='12', document_ids=['magic_function:0:2:0'])], 'search_results': None, 'search_queries': None, 'is_search_required': None, 'generation_id': '96a55791-0c58-4e2e-bc2a-8550e137c46d', 'token_count': {'input_tokens': 998, 'output_tokens': 59}}, id='run-f318a9cf-55c8-44f4-91d1-27cf46c6a465-0')
