Cohere enhances North Mini Code accessibility with API, local support, and 4-bit quantization

Cohere has released several updates to its North Mini Code model, enhancing its accessibility. The model is now available through the OpenRouter API for free, allowing users to experiment with its weights. Additionally, North Mini Code has been integrated with Ollama, enabling local execution and compatibility with tools like Codex and OpenClaw. A new 4-bit quantization version has also been introduced, making the open-source agentic coding model small enough to run on a Mac. AI

IMPACT Increases accessibility for developers to experiment with and deploy Cohere's coding model.

RANK_REASON Multiple updates to an existing model, including API and local support, fall under the 'tool' category.
