Date for adding response_format from cohere api

[PanicButtonPressed]

Hello,

noticed that the parameter response_format for the cohere api (release 5.6.1 of cohere python sdk) is not supported yet. Is there a known date yet when it will be supported?

Sure, according to https://docs.cohere.com/changelog/force-json-object-response-format a parameter response_format can be set in the chat api to generate outputs as JSON objects. The parameter is still experimental.

Example from their docs:

import cohere
co = cohere.Client(api_key="<YOUR API KEY>")

response = co.chat(
  model="command-r", #or command-r-plus
  message="Generate a JSON that represents a person, with name and age",
  response_format={
        "type": "json_object",
        "schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "required": ["name", "age"],
            "properties": {
                "name": { "type": "string" },
                "age": { "type": "integer" }
            }
        }
    }
)
