A large-scale language model 'Command R +' that supports Japanese and is more powerful than GPT-4 has appeared, so I tried it out, it can be downloaded for free and operated locally



AI development company

Cohere has announced a large-scale language model called ' Command R+ ' with performance equivalent to GPT-4. Command R+ also supports responses in Japanese, and can be downloaded and run locally. A demo of a chat app that can be run on the web has also been released.

◆ Command R + Overview
Most recent AI models, including high-performance AI models such as GPT-4 and Gemini, are based on the deep learning architecture ' Transformer ' announced by Google in 2017. Cohere, which announced Command R+, is a company founded by Aidan Gomez, who was a member of the Transformer development team . Cohere is focusing on developing multilingual LLMs, including Japanese, and has released several models such as ' Aya ' to date.

The newly released Command R+ is a large-scale language model with 104 billion parameters, with a context window (the number of tokens that can be processed simultaneously) of 128,000 tokens. Comparing the performance of 'Command R+', 'Mistral Large' and 'GPT-4 Turbo', Command R+ outperforms Mistral Large in Multilingual (multilingual processing) and RAG (a mechanism for improving answer accuracy using external information), and outperforms GPT-4 Turbo in Tool Use (a mechanism for improving answer accuracy using external tools).



In human performance evaluations, 74% of people judged 'Command R +' to be more powerful when comparing 'Command R +' with 'Claude 3 Sonnet,' and 53% of people judged 'Command R +' to be more powerful when comparing 'Command R +' with 'GPT-4 Turbo.'



The results of measuring the multilingual performance of 'Command R +', 'Claude 3 Sonnet', 'Mistral Large' and 'GPT-4 Turbo' in multiple benchmark tests are as follows. Command R + ranks high in most tests, and in some tests it shows top-level performance, suppressing GPT-4 Turbo.



◆I tried using the Command R+ demo app.
A demo of a chat app using Command R + has already been released at the link below, so I tried using it.

Below is the result of chatting with Command R+. It correctly answered the highest and second highest mountains in Japan. However, since Kita-dake is located north of the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, it is not completely accurate.



He also came up with example sentences for social media posts that would go viral.



It also answered questions about Linux commands correctly. All questions were answered very quickly and with high accuracy.



◆Model data can be downloaded for free
The model data for Command R+ is available at the following link and can be freely executed for non-commercial use only. There are

several reports on the Internet of the results of downloading Command R+ and running it locally.

◆ Paid license available
Cohere also has an API that can use Command R+. The API usage fee is $3 (about 455 yen) per 1 million tokens for input and $15 (about 2,280 yen) per 1 million tokens for output. Cohere is promoting the fact that the usage fee of Command R+ is cheaper than Mistral Large and GPT-4 Turbo.



Command R+ also boasts that it requires fewer tokens to represent the same text than other large-scale language models: in the case of Japanese, it requires 1.77 times fewer tokens than Mistral and 1.67 times fewer tokens than OpenAI.



Command+R is also available on Microsoft Azure.
