North Small Translate

Cohere

North Small Translate is a dedicated text translation model supporting more than 50 languages. Its 218B-parameter mixture-of-experts network activates 25B parameters and targets long-form translation with efficient serving. Open weights are available in several precisions under CC BY-NC 4.0, while commercial use requires appropriate licensing. It can be evaluated through Cohere’s Chat API and a public demo. The release date follows the September 9 API changelog; the launch blog followed on September 10. Translation quality claims depend on the specific language pair, domain, and evaluation method.

Tiny Aya Thinker

Cohere

Tiny Aya Thinker is Cohere Labs’ 3.35B multilingual reasoning research release, published with the Building Multilingual Bridges paper. L2-Thinker produces reasoning in the user’s language across 60 languages, while En-Thinker provides an English-reasoning comparison. The models build on a 32K Tiny Aya base checkpoint. Downloadable research weights and a public demonstration support multilingual reasoning experiments. The paper publication precedes the October 5 explanatory blog; that later blog is not the first release.

North Mini Code

Cohere

North Mini Code is Cohere’s first North coding model, trained for repository-level software changes and terminal-based agent tasks. Its mixture-of-experts architecture has 30B total parameters and 3B active per token, allowing relatively efficient inference while retaining the memory needs of the full model. Training across multiple agent harnesses targets transferable software engineering behavior rather than a single fixed scaffold. Apache-licensed weights, Chat V2 access, and private Model Vault deployments are available. The documented context limit is 256K with up to 64K output tokens.
