🧭 Quick Return to Map
You are in a sub-page of LLM_Providers.
To reorient, go back here:
- LLM_Providers — model vendors and deployment options
- WFGY Global Fix Map — main Emergency Room, 300+ structured fixes
- WFGY Problem Map 1.0 — 16 reproducible failure modes
Think of this page as a desk within a ward.
If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.
Use this page when issues look provider-specific on Cohere (Command family, chat tools, embeddings). The checks below route you to the exact WFGY fix page and give a minimal recipe you can paste into your pipeline.
- Visual map and recovery: RAG Architecture & Recovery
- End-to-end retrieval knobs: Retrieval Playbook
- Why this snippet (traceability schema): Retrieval Traceability
- Ordering control: Rerankers
- Embedding ≠ semantic meaning: Embedding vs Semantic
- Hallucination and chunk boundaries: Hallucination
- Long chains and entropy: Context Drift, Entropy Collapse
- Snippet and citation schema: Data Contracts
- Structural collapse and recovery: Logic Collapse
- Ops and live checks: Debug Playbook, Live Monitoring
- Patterns to confirm: Query Parsing Split, Vectorstore Fragmentation
- Governance and locale: Safety Boundary Problems, Multilingual Guide
-
Measure ΔS
- Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor).
- Thresholds: stable < 0.40, transitional 0.40–0.60, risk ≥ 0.60.
-
Probe with λ_observe
- Vary k = {5, 10, 20}. Flat high curve ⇒ index or metric mismatch.
- Reorder prompt headers. If ΔS spikes, lock the schema.
-
Apply WFGY modules
- Retrieval drift ⇒ BBMC + Data Contracts.
- Reasoning collapse ⇒ BBCR bridge + BBAM variance clamp.
- Dead ends in long runs ⇒ BBPF alternate path.
-
Provider checks that often matter on Cohere
- Function-call / tool JSON: enforce the contract with a header block; validate outputs against your Data Contracts.
- Context truncation: if answers “forget” late citations, run Context Drift + Entropy Collapse probes and shorten or re-chunk.
- Embedding mismatch: if using Cohere embeddings with a third-party store, confirm metric and dimension, then run Embedding vs Semantic and Vectorstore Fragmentation.
- Safety over-blocks: if citations are removed or text is blanked, check Safety Boundary Problems and tighten source scoping in the prompt.
- Multi-tool chaos: if tool calls flip between runs, review Multi-Agent Problems and split memory namespaces.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Open this | Minimal repair |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citations point to the wrong passage | retrieval drift or reranker noise | Retrieval Playbook, Rerankers | BBMC + reranker window tune; verify with ΔS ≤ 0.45 |
| Tool output misses required keys | schema unlocked | Data Contracts | Add schema header + reject-and-retry loop |
| Good chunks, wrong reasoning | logic collapse | Logic Collapse | BBCR bridge + BBAM clamp |
| High similarity, wrong meaning | embedding metric mismatch | Embedding vs Semantic | Re-embed or change index metric; re-verify ΔS |
| Answers flip across seeds | memory namespace collisions | Multi-Agent Problems | Split mem namespaces; lock rev/hash |
| Streaming cuts mid-sentence | truncation or stop join fail | Debug Playbook | Increase limits, add join checks, re-measure ΔS |
- Coverage to target section ≥ 0.70.
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 across three paraphrases.
- λ stays convergent across seeds.
- E_resonance flat on long windows.
I uploaded TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map files.
My Cohere issue:
* symptom: \[brief]
* traces: \[ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., ΔS(retrieved,anchor)=..., λ states]
Tell me:
1. which layer is failing and why,
2. which exact fix page to open from this repo,
3. minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4. how to verify with a reproducible test.
Use BBMC/BBPF/BBCR/BBAM when relevant.

If this repository helped, starring it improves discovery so more builders can find the docs and tools.
If you want me to continue with another provider now, I’ll go in this order unless you say otherwise: azure_openai.md → bedrock.md → groq.md → together.md → openrouter.md → perplexity.md → nvidia_nim.md.
