Description

North-Mini-Code-1.0 is a 30B total / 3B active parameter Mixture of Experts model trained specifically for agentic coding. It is the first model in Cohere’s North family of code agent models, released under the Apache 2.0 license. Its small active footprint makes it suitable for local deployment while remaining competitive with larger open-source models on software engineering and terminal-based agentic benchmarks.

What can North-Mini-Code-1.0 be used for?

North-Mini-Code-1.0 is well-suited for:

  • Agentic software engineering: repo-level code changes inside harnesses like SWE-Agent and OpenCode.
  • Terminal-based agents: driving shell tools end-to-end across multi-turn tasks.
  • Local and on-device coding: the 3B active parameter footprint enables low-latency inference on local hardware.
  • Code generation: scientific coding and algorithmic reasoning tasks outside of an agent loop.

It was trained against multiple harnesses, so performance generalizes across agent scaffolds rather than being tuned to a single one.
