pipx install llm
llm install llm-command-r

llm -m command-r-plus "3 reasons to adopt a sea lion"
One of the most interesting features of the Cohere API models is that they can run web searches and use the results as part of answering the prompt.
The plugin adds that as a separate command, which works like this:
llm command-r-search 'What is the LLM CLI tool by simonw?'
Example output (truncated here):
The LLM CLI tool is a command-line
utility that allows users to access large
language models. It was created by Simon
Willison and can be installed via pip,
Homebrew or pipx. The tool supports
interactions with remote APIs and models
that can be locally installed and run.
Users can run prompts from the command
line and even build an image search
engine using the CLI tool.

I tried the original command-r in an agent setup, and it ended up lobotomized when the agent relied on its results. It has some weird gaps. Like, ask it for the pricing for Claude 3 models and it only lists the prices for output tokens, and only for text. I managed to get the input cost for text out of it, but I could not get it to even acknowledge that image input was a thing. Command-r+ just did exactly the same.
