Cohere North Mini Code open-source coding agent
Engineering teams building agentic coding pipelines now have a concrete open-source alternative to managed models like Claude Fable 5 — one that runs on a single H100. The tradeoff: Cohere's North Mini Code, which launched Tuesday, generated three times the output tokens of comparable models in independent testing, a verbosity cost that compounds in high-volume production workloads.
The new open-source model is a 30 billion parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 3 billion parameters active per token, built for agentic software engineering including sub-agent orchestration, architecture mapping, code review and terminal work. The model supports a 256,000 token context window with a 64,000 token maximum generation length, and is available on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license.
