Can small models program?
Although even if they are reasoning AIs, small AIs cannot create extensive and high-quality code, at least that's what is commonly thought.
We present OrionLLM/NanoCoder-0.6b, an AI with just 600 million parameters based on qwen3-0.6b and trained with the dataset nvidia/OpenCodeReasoning.
While not good at complex code, we observed a significant improvement in code generation (especially in Python code), demonstrating that, when trained correctly, small AIs can, in fact, program.
