Carbon-X and MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 61 (C) and 61 (C). MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B leads on reach and agent interface. Both do open-weight models you run yourself.

- Carbon-X: C 61, rank #42 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/carbon-x.min.md
- MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B: C 61, rank #76 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/minicpm-v-4-7-1b.min.md
- Carbon-X, good for Agents that need a second opinion on DNA variants and regulatory regions on a 16 to 24 GB machine, without sending sequences to a hosted model. Ahead on Risk, 65 against 55; Documentation and upkeep, 72 against 48.
- MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B, good for Agents that need a cheap local model to read screenshots, photos and short video on a phone, a laptop or beside a bigger model Ahead on Reach, 95 against 90; Agent interface, 70 against 35.

Why the edge:
- Agent interface, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +35: Carbon-X 35 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 7,249 characters.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Carbon-X +24: Carbon-X 72 (Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 48 (Model card 8, Intended use (image, multi-image and video understanding on device), architecture (early visual-token compression inside the vision encoder) and p…)
- Risk, Carbon-X +10: Carbon-X 65 (File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, but the documented loading path runs the repository's tokenizer.py through trust_remote_code.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors in the main repository and the AWQ, GPTQ and int4 builds, GGUF in the GGUF build, with no .bin, .pt, .pth or .py files in the main r…)
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +5: Carbon-X 90 (Memory 30, the publisher's Q4_K_M GGUF is 9.6 GB, or 11.6 GB with a fifth added.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 95 (Memory 30, OpenBMB's own IQ4_XS GGUF is 0.64 GB, 1.54 GB with the 0.90 GB vision projector, and 1.54 GB × 1.2 = 1.9 GB, which fits 16 GB with room to spare.)
