Cohere has launched North Mini Code, its first model designed for developers, featuring 30B parameters with 3B active parameters and capabilities tailored for agentic software engineering tasks. Available on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license, it excels in complex code generation and outperforms several leading models in its size class on benchmark tests.

Cohere has released North Mini Code, its first developer-focused model, a 30B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts system with 3B active parameters designed for agentic software engineering and code generation, available on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. The company reports it scored 33.4 on Artificial Analysis' Coding Index, outperforming comparable open-source models and even some substantially larger ones. The model was trained using multiple agent scaffolds and a post-training pipeline combining supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards.
