Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Hy3 +55: Cola2 20 (Chat template 20, A chat template in tokenizer_config.json (4,116 characters), which came with the Qwen3 tokenizer.); Hy3 75 (The chat template earns 20, a chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
- Reach, Hy3 +45: Cola2 25 (Memory 15, the only build is the F32 safetensors set, 35.07 GB, and 35.07 GB × 1.2 = 42.1 GB, within 64 GB.); Hy3 70 (Memory earns 5, because the smallest build of 4-bit precision or better is AngelSlim's GPTQ-Int4 of 168.5 GB, about 202 GB with the fifth added, which is within…)
- Risk, Hy3 +20: Cola2 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Hy3 60 (File safety earns the full 25, safetensors only with no pickle files, and the documented route runs vLLM or SGLang from their own code with a Jinja template, so…)
