Why the edge:
- Agent interface, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +40: Cola2 20 (Chat template 20, A chat template in tokenizer_config.json (4,116 characters), which came with the Qwen3 tokenizer.); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 19,300 characters, the publisher's own.)
- Reach, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +25: 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.); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 50 (Memory 10, the publisher's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 62.55 GB for the 15 shards the index names, and 62.55 GB × 1.2 = 75.1 GB, above 64 GB and inside…)
- Documentation and upkeep, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +16: Cola2 58 (Model card 8, Intended use and limitations (the out-of-scope list, and the unconverged latent model) and the architecture are on the card and the GitHub model c…); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 74 (Model card 14, Intended use, a long limitations section, the architecture and training method, the parameters (31B) and the language (English) are on the card.)
- Risk, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +15: Cola2 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only, with no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python files.)
