How much does North Mini Code cost?

North Mini Code is free to use on Hormouz. There is no charge for input or output tokens. Current rates are always shown in the Hormouz dashboard.

How do I access North Mini Code from inside Iran?

Create an account on Hormouz and generate an API key. Hormouz provides a stable path to North Mini Code from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

Is North Mini Code compatible with OpenAI code?

Yes. Hormouz exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. Just change the base URL to Hormouz and swap in your Hormouz key. Your existing OpenAI SDKs and code run without a rewrite.

Is North Mini Code open-weight?

Yes. It is released open-weight under the Apache 2.0 licence. It is a 30B-parameter mixture-of-experts with about 3B active per token, a 256K-token context and up to 64K tokens of output, optimised for agentic coding.

Cohere: North Mini Code (free): AI model

North Mini Code is Cohere's first agentic coding model. A 30B-parameter (3B active) mixture-of-experts with a 256K context, open under Apache 2.0 and free to use through Hormouz from inside Iran.

Thinking levels:

North Mini Code is the debut model of Cohere's North family and its first agentic coding model. It is a sparse mixture-of-experts with 30B total parameters but only about 3B active per token, so it runs with low latency while still handling code generation, agentic software engineering and terminal tasks.

It offers a 256K-token context window with up to 64K tokens of output, supports interleaved reasoning and JSON-schema tool use, and is trained to generalise across agent harnesses. It is released open-weight under the Apache 2.0 licence, and its small active footprint makes it fast enough for interactive coding.

North Mini Code is free to use through Hormouz. You pay nothing for input or output tokens. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
