AI models and swaps
Cohere · Chat
command-r in Chat Model via Command-R. Potentially swappable with a compatible n8n chat model node. Match tool calling before testing.
Cohere · Embeddings
Set by an expression in Embeddings. Changing the embedding model may require rebuilding the vector index and matching its dimensions.
