Command

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Command is Cohere's flagship large language model, optimized for enterprise use cases, offering robust performance in text generation, summarization, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tasks, with a strong emphasis on controllable outputs and API-driven integration.

BACKGROUND

Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
