Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +20: Cosmos-Reason2-2B 65 (Memory earns the full 30 because the BF16 file is 4.9 GB, about 5.9 GB with the fifth added, though NVIDIA itself asks for 24 GB of GPU memory.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB.)
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +20: Cosmos-Reason2-2B 65 (A Jinja template ships as chat_template.json (20).); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
