About Command R-35B
Command-R is an open-source large language model (35B parameters) developed by Cohere, designed for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and tool use. It supports multi-turn conversation and function calling, making it suitable for building conversational AI agents and applications that require grounding in external data sources. The model is available on Hugging Face under the CohereForAI organization.
