--- title: "North Mini Code Free AI model: facts and benchmarks | Kendr" canonical: "https://kendr.org/models/cohere-north-mini-code-free" date_modified: "2026-08-12" profile_kind: "reference" --- # North Mini Code Free model profile North Mini Code is a Cohere model profile with a 256,000-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text modalities and interfaces for reasoning controls, text generation, tool calling. North Mini Code Free is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt. North Mini Code Free accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records reasoning controls, text generation, and tool calling as capabilities or interfaces. No comparable unit price is present in the 2026-08-12 snapshot. A zero placeholder is not presented as a free-price claim. The 2026-08-12 snapshot includes 3 Artificial Analysis indexes. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable. North Mini Code Free ranked #37 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-08-12. Observed within the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset; this is not global AI market share. Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated. ## Profile facts - **Profile type:** Model research profile - **Provider or publisher:** Cohere - **Context window:** 256,000 tokens - **Snapshot date:** 2026-08-12 - **Reference catalog ID:** cohere/north-mini-code:free ## Context, modalities, and identity North Mini Code Free accepts text and returns text.
