Coverage detailsHow much of this is verified
Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Multilingual opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

All 2 rowsLineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

- Released September 10, 2026 as Cohere's first North-family translation model: a 218B-total / 25B-active mixture-of-experts model with a 16K input and 16K output context, text in and text out, and 50+ supported languages and locale variants. NVFP4 W4A16 weights are on Hugging Face under CC BY-NC 4.0 for research and non-commercial use; the Cohere API serves it as north-small-translate-1-0 (free until rate limits), and commercial licenses run through Cohere's Model Vault and RWS Language Weaver.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track North Small Translate, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
North Small Translate is a open weight model with a 16K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.
Released September 10, 2026 as Cohere's first North-family translation model: a 218B-total / 25B-active mixture-of-experts model with a 16K input and 16K output context, text in and text out, and 50+ supported languages and locale variants. NVFP4 W4A16 weights are on Hugging Face under CC BY-NC 4.0 for research and non-commercial use; the Cohere API serves it as north-small-translate-1-0 (free until rate limits), and commercial licenses run through Cohere's Model Vault and RWS Language Weaver.
Official exact-value snapshot from Cohere's September 10, 2026 North Small Translate launch post and the Cohere model documentation. BenchLM maps the two scored evaluations Cohere publishes: the WMT26 All Languages score (83.6, judged by GPT-5.6 Sol across 50+ languages) and Cohere's long-context translation evaluation (48.9, xCOMET-XL per paragraph over two book chapters translated in one call). Both are Cohere-run evaluations, so the rows are display-only and the model stays out of weighted ranking. Cohere also reports an Agentic mode at 84.36 on WMT26, regional averages (EU languages 82.17, non-EU Europe 81.24, South Asia 86.16), a commercial-configuration point of 80.1 at $0.000676 per task, and up to 1.4x higher output throughput than Gemma 4 31B on identical hardware; those claims stay descriptive.

Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.
Estimate VRAM from known parametersQuestions
How does North Small Translate perform overall in AI benchmarks?
North Small Translate has 2 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is North Small Translate good for multilingual tasks?
North Small Translate has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multilingual tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is North Small Translate open source?
North Small Translate is an open-weight model from Cohere. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Does North Small Translate have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. North Small Translate currently has 2 source-displayable rows across 495 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of North Small Translate?
North Small Translate has a documented context window of 16K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
