Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Ling-3.1-flash-1019 +40: Cola2 20 (Chat template 20, A chat template in tokenizer_config.json (4,116 characters), which came with the Qwen3 tokenizer.); Ling-3.1-flash-1019 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (6,042 characters), which handles tools, the thinking switch and preserved reasoning.)
- Reach, Ling-3.1-flash-1019 +35: 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.); Ling-3.1-flash-1019 60 (Memory 0, inclusionAI's only build is the FP8 release at 573.78 GB, × 1.2 = 688.5 GB, above 256 GB, and no runtime's library has a build.)
- Risk, Ling-3.1-flash-1019 +5: Cola2 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Ling-3.1-flash-1019 45 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25), less 10 because the card's documented vLLM command passes --trust-remote-code, which runs the…)
