Cohere: North Mini Code (free)

cohere/north-mini-code:free

Model weights
Compare

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.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.

Yes. The pricing shown on this page for North Mini Code (free) is zero, so you are not charged for prompt or completion tokens. Free endpoints are rate limited — see the rate limit docs.

North Mini Code (free) has a 256,000 token context window. It supports up to 64,000 completion tokens.

Yes. North Mini Code (free) accepts tools and tool_choice for function calling. It does not support response_format, so JSON output is not enforced.

Command A, Command R7B (12-2024), Command R (08-2024) and 1 more are other text models from Cohere.

North Mini Code (free) was released on June 17, 2026.
