Model Architecture
This auto-regressive language model employs a transformer architecture. Post-pretraining, it uses supervised and preference fine-tuning for alignment with human preferences on helpfulness and safety. Grouped query attention (GQA) is used for enhanced inference speed.
Languages Covered
Training encompasses 23 languages including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Russian, among others. It is evaluated on 10 languages.
Grounded Generation and RAG Capabilities
C4AI Command R is designed for grounded generation, using document snippets for response formulation inclusive of source citations. Grounded summarization and final step RAG operations are optimized through supervised and preference fine-tuning. Prompt adherence enhances performance.
Single-Step Tool Use Capabilities ("Function Calling")
Facilitates interaction with external tools such as APIs. The model selects, executes, and generates responses using tools, including a default directly_answer
tool. Learn more in the tool use documentation.
Multi-Step Tool Use Capabilities ("Agents")
Aimed at executing multi-step processes through multiple tools, this function supports agent-based planning and action sequences. Comprehensive guides are available here.
Code Capabilities
C4AI Command R is optimized for code interaction, whether requesting snippets, explanations, or rewrites, but may require low temperature settings for optimal code generation.
