Cohere releases North Mini Code 1.0, a 30B-A3B open-weights coding model
AICohere and Cohere Labs released North Mini Code 1.0, an open-weights 30B-A3B mixture-of-experts model for code generation and agentic terminal tasks, under Apache 2.0. The model has 256K context and 64K max output, and is trained for tool use. Its benchmark table lists Terminal-Bench v2 at 36.0, SWE-Bench Verified at 67.6, and LiveCodeBench v6 at 70.3, below Qwen3.6 on several tasks.
Why it matters: The card lists benchmark results against Qwen3.6, Gemma4, and other models, showing where North Mini Code trails on some coding and agentic tasks.
