Why the edge:
- Reach, Apodex-1.1-mini +50: Apodex-1.1-mini 85 (Memory 20, Apodex's Q4_K_M GGUF with its vision projector is 22.6 GB and needs about 27.1 GB with the fifth added, so 32 GB, as do its NVFP4 and GPTQ-Int4 build…); LongCat-2.5 35 (Memory 0, the smallest build is Meituan's W4A4 repository, 1,336 GB, and 1,336 GB × 1.2 = 1,603 GB, far above 256 GB.)
- Agent interface, Apodex-1.1-mini +10: Apodex-1.1-mini 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); LongCat-2.5 75 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (11,823 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.)
- Documentation and upkeep, LongCat-2.5 +8: Apodex-1.1-mini 38 (Model card 8, it covers intended use, context and languages but not the architecture, parameters, limitations or a knowledge cut-off.); LongCat-2.5 46 (Model card 11, Intended use, limitations (the usage considerations), the architecture and the parameter counts are on the card.)
- Risk, Apodex-1.1-mini +5: Apodex-1.1-mini 65 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and nothing from the repositories runs.); LongCat-2.5 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
