Available Files

Filename	Quant Type	Size	Description
NousCoder-14B.q2_k.gguf	Q2_K	5.36 GB	Smallest size, lowest quality. Best for testing if model works.
NousCoder-14B.q3_k_l.gguf	Q3_K_L (Large)	7.36 GB	Better quality 3-bit quantization.
NousCoder-14B.q3_k_m.gguf	Q3_K_M (Medium)	6.82 GB	Small size with slightly better quality than Q3_K_S.
NousCoder-14B.q3_k_s.gguf	Q3_K_S (Small)	6.20 GB	Very small, low quality. Not recommended for most uses.
NousCoder-14B.q4_0.gguf	Q4_0	7.93 GB	Basic 4-bit quantization. Good balance of size and quality.
NousCoder-14B.q4_1.gguf	Q4_1	8.74 GB	4-bit with higher accuracy than Q4_0.
NousCoder-14B.q4_k_m.gguf	Q4_K_M (Medium)	8.38 GB	K-quant 4-bit, best balance of size and quality. Most popular choice.
NousCoder-14B.q4_k_s.gguf	Q4_K_S (Small)	7.98 GB	K-quant 4-bit, optimized for smaller size.
NousCoder-14B.q5_0.gguf	Q5_0	9.56 GB	Basic 5-bit quantization. Higher quality than Q4.
NousCoder-14B.q5_1.gguf	Q5_1	10.37 GB	5-bit with higher accuracy than Q5_0.
NousCoder-14B.q5_k_m.gguf	Q5_K_M (Medium)	9.79 GB	K-quant 5-bit, excellent quality-to-size ratio.
NousCoder-14B.q5_k_s.gguf	Q5_K_S (Small)	9.56 GB	K-quant 5-bit, good quality with reasonable size.
NousCoder-14B.q6_k.gguf	Q6_K	11.29 GB	6-bit quantization. Very high quality, larger size.
NousCoder-14B.q8_0.gguf	Q8_0	14.62 GB	8-bit quantization. Near-original quality, largest quantized size.

NousCoder-14B

We introduce NousCoder-14B, a competitive programming model post-trained on Qwen3-14B via reinforcement learning. On LiveCodeBench v6 (08/01/2024 - 05/01/2025), we achieve a Pass@1 accuracy of 67.87%, up 7.08% from the baseline Pass@1 accuracy of 60.79% of Qwen3-14B. We trained on 24k verifiable coding problems using 48 B200s over the course of four days.
