Nous Research has released NousCoder-14B, a new open-source AI model specifically designed for code generation and programming tasks. The 14-billion-parameter model is positioned as a strong alternative to proprietary models like Anthropic’s Claude Code, emphasizing its accessibility and performance on key benchmarks. According to the report, NousCoder-14B demonstrates competitive results on the HumanEval benchmark, a standard test for code generation, while being freely available for developers to use, modify, and deploy. The release comes amid growing industry focus on specialized coding assistants. The model is built on the DeepSeek-Coder architecture and fine-tuned on a diverse dataset of code, aiming to provide high-quality code completion and generation across multiple programming languages.
