Common issues when running or integrating North Mini Code.
North Mini Code was evaluated with temperature=1.0 and top_p=0.95. If your outputs feel unusually flat or unstable, start by aligning your generation settings with those recommendations.
Make sure:
tools are defined with JSON schema
the chat is rendered through the model’s chat template
tool outputs are appended back into the conversation
interleaved reasoning content is not dropped between steps
The Hugging Face model card says to use vLLM main and install cohere_melody>=0.9.0 for accurate tool-call and reasoning parsing.
The model card notes that North Mini Code support depends on a Transformers build that includes the necessary changes. Upgrade to a newer release or install from source if your installed version is behind.
Move to /deployment/quantized-local-apps and choose a GGUF, AWQ, FP8, or MLX path that better matches your hardware.
