FrontierThe story, in brief
Meet ‘North Mini Code’: Cohere’s 30B Open-Weight Mixture-of-Experts Model With 3B Active Parameters for Agentic Coding
30B parameters. 3B active. Cohere just shipped a coding model that runs on a single H100 — and it's open-weight.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
Cohere enters the developer coding model space with an efficient MoE architecture designed for agentic workflows. The 3B active parameter design suggests a push toward cost-effective inference for on-device or resource-constrained deployment — a direct competitive move against closed coding models.
