Cohere

✓ from llama_index.llms.cohere import Cohere

Ensure nested module path matches package structure

Instantiate Cohere LLM and generate a completion.

import os from llama_index.llms.cohere import Cohere api_key = os.environ.get('COHERE_API_KEY', '') llm = Cohere(model='command-r', api_key=api_key) response = llm.complete('Hello, how are you?') print(response.text)

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe 'cohere' model parameter as string may be deprecated in favor of specific model classes. Always check the latest supported model names.

fix

Use explicit model names like 'command-r', 'command-r-plus', or 'command-light'.

affects: >=0.8.0

gotchaCohere API key must be set via environment variable COHERE_API_KEY or passed directly. Missing key raises a non-obvious authentication error.

fix

Set COHERE_API_KEY in environment or pass api_key parameter.

affects: all

breakingBreaking import path change from legacy llama_index.llms.cohere to llama_index.llms.cohere.Cohere. Previous imports may fail.

fix

Use from llama_index.llms.cohere import Cohere (capitalized class name).

affects: >=0.6.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'Cohere' from 'llama_index.llms.cohere'

cohere.core.api_error.ApiError: Status code 401: unauthorized

Missing or invalid API key.
