Why the edge:
- Agent interface, EXAONE 4.5 33B +20: Cosmos-Reason2-2B 65 (A Jinja template ships as chat_template.json (20).); EXAONE 4.5 33B 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,930 characters).)
- Documentation and upkeep, EXAONE 4.5 33B +11: Cosmos-Reason2-2B 39 (The card misses languages and a cut-off (14).); EXAONE 4.5 33B 50 (Model card 20, Uses (the quickstart's question answering, document and agent examples), limitations, the architecture, the parameters, the context, the language…)
- Risk, Cosmos-Reason2-2B +10: Cosmos-Reason2-2B 60 (File safety gets the full 25, one safetensors file loaded by Transformers' own code with a template, no remote code.); EXAONE 4.5 33B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
