Cohere launches North Mini Code local MoE
Cohere has released North Mini Code, a 30B open-weights coding model (3B active parameters per token) optimized for running locally on consumer hardware. Licensed under Apache 2.0, the model features a 256,000-token context window and is designed for agentic tasks like terminal execution and code editing.
A game-changer for developer privacy and offline developer tools, lowering the hardware barrier for running highly capable agentic coding assistants locally.
- –The 3B active parameter size enables low-latency generation on standard developer laptops and desktop machines.
- –A 256k context window allows coding agents to digest large repositories, mitigating the context limits that usually plague local models.
- –Releasing under the permissive Apache 2.0 license encourages open-source integration into VS Code extensions, command-line tools, and local coding frameworks.
