Nous Research's NousCoder-14B is an open-source coding model landing right in the Claude Code moment

Nous Research, backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm, released NousCoder-14B, an open-source AI coding model that achieves 67.87% accuracy on competitive programming benchmarks. The model was trained in just four days using 48 Nvidia B200 GPUs and comes with complete transparency, including open-sourced training code and methodology.

• →NousCoder-14B achieves 67.87% accuracy on LiveCodeBench v6, a 7.08 percentage point improvement over its base model Qwen3-14B.
• →The model was trained in four days using 48 Nvidia B200 GPUs, demonstrating rapid AI development capabilities.
• →Nous Research open-sourced the complete training infrastructure, enabling reproducible research in AI coding models.
• →The release coincides with viral adoption of Anthropic's Claude Code, highlighting intense competition in AI-assisted programming.
• →The model required 24,000 programming problems to achieve improvements that took a human programmer two years with only 1,000 problems.
