North Mini Code

Language model · Jun 9, 2026

North Mini Code is Cohere's purpose-built open-weight checkpoint for code generation, agentic software engineering, and terminal tasks. The 30-billion-parameter MoE activates 3 billion parameters and was trained with tool use for coding agents.

Command A Plus

Language model · May 20, 2026

Command A Plus extends the Command A family into a sparse mixture-of-experts model with image input. Cohere describes it as its first MoE model and names agentic tasks, reasoning, translation, and support for 48 languages. The model has 218 billion total parameters and 25 billion active parameters.
