Why the edge:
- Reach, Apodex-1.1-mini +45: 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…); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 40 (Memory 15, the only build is the safetensors set, 38.14 GB with its MTP head, since the Hub counts 9.41B of its parameters in F32. Runtimes 0, none of the six r…)
- Agent interface, Apodex-1.1-mini +25: Apodex-1.1-mini 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
- Risk, Apodex-1.1-mini +15: Apodex-1.1-mini 65 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and nothing from the repositories runs.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
- Documentation and upkeep, SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview +6: 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.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 44 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameter counts, the training context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.)
