title: Cohere
---
Cohere provides state-of-the-art reranking models that can significantly improve the relevance of search results. Cohere's rerankers are optimized for various languages and use cases.
## Usage
To use Cohere's reranker with Mem0:
```python
import os
from mem0 import Memory
os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "your-cohere-api-key"
config = {
"reranker": {
"provider": "cohere",
"config": {
"api_key": "your-cohere-api-key", # Can also use environment variable
"model": "rerank-english-v3.0",
"top_n": 10
}
}
}
memory = Memory.from_config(config)
# Use memory as usual
memory.add("I love playing basketball", user_id="alice")
memory.add("I enjoy watching movies", user_id="alice")
# Search will now use Cohere reranking
results = memory.search("What sports does Alice like?", user_id="alice")
```
## Configuration
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `api_key` | Cohere API key | Required |
| `model` | Cohere rerank model | `rerank-english-v3.0` |
| `top_n` | Number of results to return | `10` |
## Available Models
- `rerank-english-v3.0`: Latest English reranking model
- `rerank-multilingual-v3.0`: Multilingual reranking model
- `rerank-english-v2.0`: Previous English model
- `rerank-multilingual-v2.0`: Previous multilingual model
## Example with Different Models
### English Reranker
```python
config = {
"reranker": {
"provider": "cohere",
"config": {
"api_key": "your-cohere-api-key",
"model": "rerank-english-v3.0",
"top_n": 5
}
}
}
```
### Multilingual Reranker
```python
config = {
"reranker": {
"provider": "cohere",
"config": {
"api_key": "your-cohere-api-key",
"model": "rerank-multilingual-v3.0",
"top_n": 8
}
}
}
```
## Environment Variables
You can set your Cohere API key as an environment variable:
```bash
export COHERE_API_KEY="your-cohere-api-key"
```
Then use the config without specifying the API key:
```python
config = {
"reranker": {
"provider": "cohere",
"config": {
"model": "rerank-english-v3.0",
"top_n": 10
}
}
}
```
## Getting Your API Key
1. Sign up at [Cohere](https://cohere.ai/)
2. Navigate to the API keys section in your dashboard
3. Generate a new API key
4. Use this key in your configuration
## Performance Considerations
- Cohere rerankers work best with 10-100 candidate documents
- Higher `top_n` values provide more comprehensive reranking but may increase latency
- The v3.0 models generally provide better performance than v2.0 models
