North Mini Code (free)

North Mini Code is Cohere's first agentic coding model and the debut of its North family. A sparse mixture-of-experts model with 30B total parameters and 3B active, it is optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering, and terminal tasks, and is trained to generalize across agent harnesses such as OpenCode and SWE-Agent. It offers a 256K-token context window with up to 64K tokens of output, supports interleaved reasoning and tool use via JSON schema, and is released open-weight under the Apache 2.0 license. Its small active-parameter footprint enables low-latency inference, including on local hardware.
