Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs for North Mini Code

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run North Mini Code

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

Hardware requirements in practice

Minimum card

Xeon Phi 7120P

Memory needed

13.7 GB

Fastest

627 tok/s

With 30B parameters, North Mini Code lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. 241 of the cards we track can run it.

The entry point is the Xeon Phi 7120P: 16 GB of memory, Q3_K_M compression, roughly 48.4 tokens per second.

At the other end, a B200 generates roughly 627 tokens per second on it, on the strength of 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Where it came from

North Mini Code was published by Cohere, in Canada, in June 2026. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing coding, Language modeling/generation, Question answering.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. It is published under the CohereLabs organisation on Hugging Face.

Understanding the speeds

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 95.1 tokens per second, and 239 exceed reading speed outright.

Because it routes each token through a subset of its weights, it produces text at the pace of a much smaller model. The catch is memory: all of it still has to fit, so the speed is a bonus rather than a discount on hardware.

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for North Mini Code

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Read the memory figure first

Every card here has been checked against North Mini Code — around 13.7 GB at Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Decide how long your conversations run

Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason North Mini Code stops fitting a card that seemed fine.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

Each card runs the least-compressed copy it can hold — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Setting a floor drops the cards that only manage North Mini Code by squeezing it further than you would want.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

The speed ordering for North Mini Code is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 627 tok/s.
05

Look at the headroom, not just the fit

The fit column separates cards that just manage North Mini Code from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.
06

Check the card from the other side

Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for North Mini Code alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

North Mini Code — common questions

Who created North Mini Code?

North Mini Code was published by Cohere, based in Canada, categorised as industry.

When was North Mini Code released?

North Mini Code was published in June 2026.

What is North Mini Code used for?

North Mini Code works in Language, and is recorded as handling coding, Language modeling/generation, Question answering. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

Where can I download North Mini Code?

Its weights are published under the CohereLabs organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

Can I run North Mini Code if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded North Mini Code is rarely worth using — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 6.4 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is on the card.

Would two GPUs run North Mini Code faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 241 cards already able to run North Mini Code alone, the case for pairing is weak.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for North Mini Code?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and North Mini Code appears at 5 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

How accurate are these North Mini Code speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked. That is why each is published as a range such as 376–1,004 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

What GPU do I need to run North Mini Code?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds North Mini Code is the Xeon Phi 7120P, with 16 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 13.7 GB, and produces roughly 48.4 tokens per second. 241 cards in total can run it.

How fast is North Mini Code on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 627 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 239 of the cards that can run North Mini Code clear that.

How much VRAM does North Mini Code need?

About 13.7 GB at Q3_K_M compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Can I run North Mini Code on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q3_K_M, using about 13.7 GB and generating roughly 239 tokens per second — a tight fit.

Can I run North Mini Code on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q5_K_M, using about 20.7 GB and generating roughly 188 tokens per second — a tight fit.

Is North Mini Code open source?

Its weights are published, so North Mini Code can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

How many parameters does North Mini Code have?

North Mini Code has 30B parameters. 30B total, 3B active. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
