Nous Research is an American open source AI startup that trains world class open source language models and builds infrastructure for distributed, unbiased training. The company focuses on model architecture, data synthesis, fine tuning, and reasoning to advance open source language model capabilities. Their latest release, NousCoder 14B, is a competitive programming model that achieves 67.87% accuracy on LiveCodeBench v6, a 7.08 percentage point improvement over its base model (Alibaba's Qwen3 14B). The model was trained in just four days using 48 Nvidia B200 GPUs and matches or exceeds several larger proprietary systems.
