Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +10: Darwin-36B-Opus 80 (Memory 20, the publisher's Q4_K_M GGUF is 21.2 GB and needs about 25.4 GB with the fifth added, so 32 GB.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 90 (Memory 25, since OpenBMB's IQ4_XS GGUF with its vision projector is 19.6 GB and needs about 23.6 GB with the fifth added, which fits 24 GB, while its Q4_K_M GGU…)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +7: Darwin-36B-Opus 61 (Model card 11, it covers architecture, parameters, context and languages but not intended use, limitations or a knowledge cut-off.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 68 (Model card 8, it covers intended use, architecture and parameters but not limitations, context length, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
