When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • Need Command A. That is the other Cohere card. Need a paid north-mini-code slug. Only :free is live on the 19 Aug catalog.
  • Need DeepSWE or vals Accuracy. Neither board printed a North Mini Code row.

FAQ

Why the :free suffix?

The 19 Aug catalog does not carry a paid cohere/north-mini-code id. The live SKU, the week-volume row, and the hosted allowlist all use :free.

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.
