Developers, coding-agent builders, and engineering teams wanting a model for code generation, terminal tasks, architecture reasoning, code review, and locally controlled development workflows

About North Mini Code

North Mini Code is Cohere’s first agentic coding model for developers and the inaugural member of its next generation of powerful models. Small, efficient, and open-source, it is built for the sovereign developer ecosystem and designed to deliver strong software development performance without requiring extensive hardware. North Mini Code is a mixture-of-experts model with 30B total parameters and 3B active parameters, giving developers access to agentic coding capabilities in a compact and efficient form. The model is optimized for code generation, agentic software engineering, and terminal tasks, with a 256K total context length and up to 64K maximum generation. It is built for real-world developer workflows, including understanding and orchestrating sub-agents, mapping system architecture, running code reviews, and supporting coding agents that need to reason through complex software tasks.

GLM-5.1
GLM-5.1
GLM-5.1 is the latest iteration of Z.ai’s GLM series, designed as a frontier-level, agent-oriented AI model optimized for coding, reasoning, and long-horizon workflows. It builds on the GLM-5 architecture, which uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design to deliver high performance while keeping inference costs efficient, and is part of a broader push toward open-weight, developer-accessible models. A core focus of GLM-5.1 is enabling agentic behavior, meaning it can plan, execute, and iterate across multi-step tasks rather than simply responding to single prompts. It is specifically designed to handle complex workflows such as debugging code, navigating repositories, and executing chained operations with sustained context. Compared to earlier models, GLM-5.1 improves reliability in long interactions, maintaining coherence across extended sessions and reducing breakdowns in multi-step reasoning.

Composer 2.5
Composer 2.5
Composer 2.5 is the latest AI coding model released by Cursor, offering major improvements in intelligence, collaboration, and long-task performance compared to Composer 2. The model is designed to follow complex instructions more accurately while providing a smoother and more natural user experience during coding sessions. Cursor enhanced Composer 2.5 through larger-scale training, more advanced reinforcement learning environments, and improved behavioral tuning focused on communication and effort calibration. The model uses targeted reinforcement learning with textual feedback to correct specific mistakes during training, helping it avoid issues like invalid tool calls or poor coding behavior. Composer 2.5 was also trained using significantly more synthetic coding tasks, enabling it to handle increasingly difficult programming challenges and real-world development scenarios.

Devstral Small 2
Devstral Small 2
Devstral Small 2 is the compact, 24 billion-parameter variant of the new coding-focused model family from Mistral AI, released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license to enable both local deployment and API use. Alongside its larger sibling (Devstral 2), this model brings “agentic coding” capabilities to environments with modest compute: it supports a large 256K-token context window, enabling it to understand and make changes across entire codebases. On the standard code-generation benchmark (SWE-Bench Verified), Devstral Small 2 scores around 68.0%, placing it among open-weight models many times its size. Because of its reduced size and efficient design, Devstral Small 2 can run on a single GPU or even CPU-only setups, making it practical for developers, small teams, or hobbyists without access to data-center hardware. Despite its compact footprint, Devstral Small 2 retains key capabilities of larger models; it can reason across multiple files and track dependencies.
