About
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.
I would like to thank my mentor, Roger Jin, Dakota Mahan, Teknium, and others at the Nous Research team for their invaluable support throughout this project. I would also like to thank Together AI and Agentica for their immensely helpful blog posts on DeepCoder-14B. Finally, thank you to Modal and Lambda for their generous support by providing me with credits.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys nouscoder for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nouscoder below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"nouscoder","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
