Cohere

Cohere’s Command models, with a free trial key.

Overview

Cohere gives every account a free trial key to try things out. Production use needs a billed production key.

1
Sign in at dashboard.cohere.com with email, Google or GitHub.
2
Open API Keys. A trial key is already there. To make another, choose New Trial Key (names cannot contain spaces).
3
For heavier or commercial use, add billing and create a production key.
4
Copy the key.

Cost. Trial keys are free but limited in calls per month and not allowed for commercial use. Production keys are billed per token.

1
Open Loom, then Providers in the menu, and choose Add provider.
2
Pick Cohere (the search box finds it).
3
Fill in the fields in the table below.
4
Choose Connect. Loom checks the key and says how many models it found. If it cannot check, it says so, and you can Save anyway and try a message.
5
Open the model chip below the message box and pick a model.
