Model Card
Cohere North Mini Code is an open-weight agentic coding model from Cohere Labs, built on a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 30B total parameters and 3B active per token.
It is optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering workflows — including sub-agent orchestration, multi-file analysis, and code review — and real terminal tasks. On the Artificial Analysis Coding Index it scores 33.4, outperforming open-source models up to 4x its size. It delivers 2.8x higher throughput and 30% lower inter-token latency than Devstral Small 2.
With a 256K context window and 64K max output, it suits developers building AI coding agents or automated engineering pipelines. Released under Apache 2.0.

More AI Models From Cohere
Command A+
Command A+ is Cohere's newest flagship model, a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with 218 billion total parameters and 25 billion active per token, released in 2026 as a successor to Command A. It extends language coverage from 23 to 48 languages, including all official EU languages, and adds image understanding alongside text, complex reasoning, and agentic tool use in a single model. Cohere reports higher scores on agentic benchmarks compared to its own Command A Reasoning model, including 85% on Tau2-Bench Telecom (up from 37%) and 25% on Terminal-Bench Hard (up from 3%), plus a score of 37 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. With a 192,000 token context window and 64,000 token max output, it suits developers building multilingual enterprise assistants, RAG pipelines, and multi-step tool-calling agents who need reasoning, vision, and tool use in one model.
ChatCommand A
Command A is Cohere's flagship enterprise language model with 111 billion parameters and a 256K token context window, released in March 2025. Built for complex agentic workflows, it leads on tool-use benchmarks including BFCL-v3 and Tau-bench, and performs on par with GPT-4o on MMLU and SQL tasks. It is particularly strong at multi-step tool calling — including knowing when not to invoke a tool, a critical quality for production agents. Supporting 23 languages with 150% higher throughput than Command R+, it's a strong choice for developers building RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, or multilingual enterprise applications.
ChatCommand A (03-2025)
Command A (03-2025) is Cohere's flagship enterprise chat model, built for tool use, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic workflows across a 256K token context window. Cohere reports it performs on par with or better than GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 on agentic enterprise tasks. In Cohere's human evaluations against GPT-4o (November version), it reached win rates of 50.4% on general prompts, 51.4% on business tasks, and 49.6% on code. Cohere also measured serving speeds of up to 156 tokens per second, about 1.75x what it measured for GPT-4o. It supports 23 languages and produces citation-backed answers in RAG settings, which makes it a fit for enterprise assistants, multilingual applications, and multi-step agents that call external tools.
