Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +25: 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…); 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.)
- Documentation and upkeep, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash +12: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 48 (The cards cover architecture, parameters and context but not intended use, limitations, languages or a cut-off, so 8. Training data is a general description wit…); North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +10: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 50 (The weights are safetensors only, but 10 comes off because the card's way to build prompts is running encoding.py from the repository, since there's no Jinja te…); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +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…); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
