Available Cohere Models

Jan automatically includes Cohere’s available models. In case you want to use a specific Cohere model that you cannot find in Jan, follow instructions in Add Cloud Models:

• See list of available models in Cohere Documentation.
• The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, command-nightly or command-light.

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

• Verify your API key is correct and not expired
• Check if you have billing set up on your Cohere account
• Ensure you have access to the model you’re trying to use

2. Connection Problems

• Check your internet connection
• Verify Cohere’s system status
• Look for error messages in Jan’s logs

3. Model Unavailable

• Verify your Cohere account has the necessary permissions
