Cohere Launches First Open-Source Coding Model North Mini Code
Cohere has released North Mini Code—its first open-source model for programming and agent coordination. Built on a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with 30B total parameters and just 3B active, the model is designed to manage sub-agents, design system architecture, and conduct code reviews. It scored 33.4 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Index and achieves 2.8x higher output throughput and 30% lower inter-token latency compared to Devstral Small 2 under similar hardware. The weights are published on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, with access also available via API and Model Vault.
