Nous Research has released NousCoder-14B, a new open-source large language model specialized for code generation and understanding. The model, with 14 billion parameters, is positioned as a competitor to Anthropic’s recently launched Claude Code. It is designed to assist developers by generating, explaining, and debugging code across multiple programming languages. The release is part of a broader trend of specialized AI models for software development, offering an open-source alternative to proprietary systems. The model’s performance and accessibility aim to lower the barrier for developers to integrate advanced AI coding assistance into their workflows.
