Command R7B
7B multilingual RAG and tool-use model for research use.
About
Cohere Labs' 7B research release built for retrieval-augmented generation and tool use, trained on 23 languages with 128K context and multi-step agentic capabilities.
It punches above its size on enterprise RAG and code tasks. The catch is the license: CC-BY-NC, so this is for research and prototyping only — not for commercial products.
