Overview

Instructor supports Cohere API - you can find the details on how to configure the client in the example below.

Mode compatibility:

  • Mode::MdJson - supported, recommended as a fallback from JSON mode
  • Mode::Json - supported, recommended
  • Mode::Tools - partially supported, not recommended

Reasons Mode::Tools is not recommended:

  • Cohere does not support JSON Schema, which only allows to extract very simple, flat data schemas.
  • Performance of the currently available versions of Cohere models in tools mode for Instructor use case (data extraction) is extremely poor.

Example

<?php
$loader = require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$loader->add('Cognesy\\Instructor\\', __DIR__ . '../../src/');

use Cognesy\Instructor\Enums\Mode;
use Cognesy\Instructor\Instructor;

enum UserType : string {
    case Guest = 'guest';
    case User = 'user';
    case Admin = 'admin';
}

class User {
    public int $age;
    public string $name;
    public string $username;
    public UserType $role;
    /** @var string[] */
    public array $hobbies;
}

// Get Instructor with specified LLM client connection
// See: /config/llm.php to check or change LLM client connection configuration details
$instructor = (new Instructor)->withClient('cohere');

$user = $instructor->respond(
    messages: "Jason (@jxnlco) is 25 years old and is the admin of this project. He likes playing football and reading books.",
    responseModel: User::class,
    examples: [[
