Cohere: North Mini Code (free)

Cohere North Mini Code (free) is a text-only model with a 256,000-token context window and a 64,000-token completion limit. It accepts text input and supports tool use and reasoning, making it suited for agentic coding workflows, multi-step problem solving, and tasks that benefit from long context. Structured output support is unconfirmed based on available data. For comparison purposes, the most relevant facts are its zero cost and its unproven benchmark record; no independent benchmark coverage exists yet, so there is no performance data to weigh against competitors. Developers who want a free option for code-related tasks with long-context requirements have a practical reason to shortlist it, but anyone making a decision based on measured quality will need to run their own evaluations, since published scores are not available to consult.
