North Mini Code 1.0 vs Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B

North Mini Code 1.0 85

Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters). Tool-calling format 25, the card documents how tools are declared (JSON schema through the chat template), how the call and its thinking go back into the history and how results are appended, and names the cohere_command4 tool-call parser for vLLM, which released vLLM has. Trained tool calling 20, the card says the model was specifically trained with tool-use capabilities for agentic coding, with reinforcement learning on verifiable tasks, and the template renders every call in a turn with thinking between them. Structured output 0, JSON schema is for describing tools. Reasoning control 10, the template has a reasoning_effort setting, and the card names the cohere_command4 reasoning parser, which returns thinking apart from the answer. Context 10, 256K tokens per the card, with 64K of output, and 500,000 positions in config.json. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 85.

Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 60

Chat template 20, the base's Jinja file. Tool-calling format 10 of 25, the format is only in the template and the parser only in serving commands. Trained tool calling 20, several calls a turn and agentic post-training. Structured output 0, not documented. Reasoning control 0, the card mentions reasoning_effort but not how to set it, turn thinking off or read the reasoning. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native.

File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository. Provenance 15, the files sit in Cohere's verified CohereLabs organisation, which cohere.com links to per our other Cohere listings (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 0, the card has no limitations or safety section, and nothing on prompt injection, instruction priority or what the model refuses. Licence risk 15, Apache 2.0 has no use policy, threshold or change clause. Security programme 5, Cohere's trust centre holds a responsible disclosure policy with a bug bounty, as recorded on our Cohere listings (5). 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 5 = 60.

Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 50

File safety 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs. Provenance 15, the files are in the account UkisAI's site links to, with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0, none published. Agent guidance 0, nothing on prompt injection, refusals or safeguards. Licence risk 10, a revenue threshold. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw was found.

Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card. Training data 0, the card gives the training method and nothing about the data. Last change 10, the main repository last changed on 15 June 2026 (outdated chat templates removed), 148 days before this check, and the draft model's repository on 29 July, 104 days. Responsiveness 0, none of the 11 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (7 June to 6 November 2026) has a reply from a CohereLabs member, counted on 10 November by author flags and dates with a script, text not read. Version policy 5, A first release, with each build in its own repository. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture, and the June commit that removed broken templates says so. 11 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 36.

Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 43

Model card 8 of 20, intended use, parameters and context only. Training data 5, a general description with no cut-off. Last change 20, UkisAI's own ONNX builds of the model took a new card and licence on 8 October, 26 days ago (the main repository's last commit is the 3 October README update). Responsiveness 0, UkisAI answered none of 8 discussions. Version policy 5, Swift 1.0 stays in its own repository without a note. File health 5, reports of a broken model wait without a reply and the card's metadata claims a gate that doesn't exist.

Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB. Unsloth's GGUF isn't read for this line. Runtimes 20, Released vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23 and Transformers 5.22.2 have the cohere2_moe model, and llama.cpp b12242 has the cohere2moe architecture. Builds 15, Quantised builds from Cohere at two precisions, FP8 and 4-bit weights (w4a16), each in its own repository. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the metadata and on the card, an OSI licence with nothing added. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for the model and its builds on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps no inference provider to it. 25 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 85.

Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 80

Memory 25 of 30, UkisAI's 4-bit MLX build is 15.9 GB and its 4-bit GGUF with the vision projector 16.4 GB, both under 20 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB. Runtimes 20, the architecture is Qwen3.8-27B's, which released llama.cpp, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers run, while Ollama's entry is the base's. Builds 15, GGUF, INT4, NVFP4, FP8 and MLX builds from UkisAI. Terms 10, a custom licence that is free for commercial use below US$1M revenue. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 0, no provider serves it, and UkisAI's research API on the card couldn't be shown to serve it, since robots.txt disallows calling it.
