Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +25: DeepSeek-V3.2 60 (Memory earns nothing, because the only build from DeepSeek or a runtime's library is the 689.5 GB FP8 release, which needs about 827 GB with the fifth added.); 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 +25: DeepSeek-V3.2 60 (The chat template earns 10, as the format exists only as Python code to run.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +10: DeepSeek-V3.2 50 (File safety earns 15, safetensors only but 10 off because prompts are built by running DeepSeek's Python from the repository.); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
