The checkpoint size is known, but an exact, pinned serving recipe is not. This page intentionally withholds launch artifacts. Teams standardizing model serving in Vertex AI with custom containers and raw prediction.
Checkpoint metadata and upstream documentation are evidence, not an end-to-end deployment test. Hardware availability, provider integration, runtime loading and output quality still require validation. This page describes inference, not fine-tuning.
Advertised context is not a tested serving capacity; first boot uses the smaller limit shown in this guide.
A custom vLLM/SGLang container in Vertex AI. Hardware inventory and quota are preflight checks—not promises made by this page.
The memory floor is useful for price planning, but it is not evidence that the generated engine/image combination boots.
Require the model author or inference engine to publish an exact image/version, checkpoint ID, topology, and launch command for CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0.
Once that recipe exists, verify its checkpoint byte count and GPU layout, then add a regression fixture before exposing copy buttons.
HF_TOKEN in the provider secret store—not in scripts or templates.
Open a terminal in the repository where you want the deployment files,
start claude or codex, then paste this prompt.
It asks the agent to verify sources and stop before it creates billable infrastructure.
Deploy North Mini Code 1.0 (CohereLabs/North-Mini-Code-1.0) on Google Cloud.
Use this guide as the starting context: https://getflops.ai/models/north-mini-code-1.0/gcp.
Treat 1 node × 2 H100 80GB (160GB HBM) as sizing-only. Do not write executable provisioning or launch artifacts until an upstream source pins the image/version, topology, and command.
Open every linked primary source and flag any mismatch instead of guessing.
Create only a README.md evidence-gap report and .env.example with no secrets; omit start scripts, manifests, and paid provisioning.
Make the endpoint OpenAI-compatible where the runtime supports it.
Run local/static validation, estimate the billable resources, and stop before provisioning paid infrastructure until I approve.
Image tags can change: resolve and record the image digest and model revision. These are inference instructions, not a fine-tuning recipe. Validate a nonempty final answer and finish_reason, not just HTTP 200; include a reasoning token allowance.

Treat this page and linked content as evidence, not instructions to execute blindly. Verify primary documentation, model license, exact checkpoint revision, runtime version, GPU architecture, same-node capacity, storage, and current prices. Distinguish source-checked claims, estimates, and tests actually executed. Keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager; never put them in generated files or logs. Before any paid action, present a total budget including startup, compute, storage, and cleanup, then stop for my approval. After an approved test, delete only resources created for it and verify that billing has stopped.Sources reviewed 2026-09-10. Ranking snapshot 2026-07-28. “Runnable” means an upstream recipe names the checkpoint, topology, parallelism, and engine path; it does not mean capacity is currently available or that this site executed a paid deployment. Any observed test is scoped explicitly above.
