# rerank-english-v2

````
Reranking models are designed to provide superior accuracy over retriever models but are much slower — so this model shouldn't be used with more than a few hundred documents. Due to the slowness of rerankers, we recommend using them in a two-stage retrieval system, ie use a retrieval to pull in a smaller number of documents from a larger database and then rerank the smaller number of documents using a reranker.

### Using the Model

#### Installation:

```python theme={null}

pip install -qU cohere==4.34

```

#### Rerank:

```python theme={null}

import cohere

co = cohere.Client("<<YOUR_COHERE_API_KEY>>")
reranked_docs = co.rerank(
        query=query_str,
    documents=docs,
    top_n=5,  # controls how many reranked docs to return
    model="rerank-english-v2.0"
)

```
