Why the edge:
- Agent interface, EXAONE 4.5 33B +10: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 75 (There's no Jinja template in the 17 October repository, only code to run, so the template line gets 10. DeepSeek documents the DSML tool format both ways and sh…); EXAONE 4.5 33B 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,930 characters).)
- Reach, EXAONE 4.5 33B +5: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 60 (Memory scores nothing, because the only build is DeepSeek's own at 510.3 GB, about 612 GB with the fifth added, and nobody's runtime library holds a smaller one…); EXAONE 4.5 33B 65 (Memory 20, the smallest build at 4 bits is LG's IQ4_XS GGUF, 18.03 GB with the 2.57 GB projector, and 20.60 GB × 1.2 = 24.7 GB, within 32 GB.)
