Cohere coding model for practical software engineering and agentic edits
North Mini Code by cohere is currently listed from a single provider. Its official list price is $0 per 1M tokens. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 9.9 on the Intelligence Index, with 36.5 for coding and 1.1 for agentic tasks. Median output speed is 92 tokens per second, with 0.42s to the first token.
The context window is 256,000 tokens, with an output limit of 64,000 tokens. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-09-23.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
| Provider | Tier | Input | Output | Cache read | Cache write | Context | Output limit | Status |

| CohereOfficial | First-party | Free | — | — | 256,000 | 64,000 |
Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
Interleaved thinking (reasoning between tool calls) is declared by 1 of 1 providers.
This model is $0 across all listed channels (Cohere).

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
