Why the edge:
- Risk, Devstral Small 2 +10: Devstral Small 2 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.); Ling-3.0-tiny 50 (File safety gets 15, safetensors and GGUF only, but the card's vLLM command runs the repository's config code with --trust-remote-code.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Ling-3.0-tiny +10: Devstral Small 2 46 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.); Ling-3.0-tiny 56 (Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are there, limitations, languages and a cut-off aren't.)
- Reach, Ling-3.0-tiny +5: Devstral Small 2 90 (Memory 25, the smallest build at 4 bits from a runtime's own library is Ollama's devstral-small-2 at Q4_K_M, 15 GB, and 15 GB × 1.2 = 18 GB, within 24 GB.); Ling-3.0-tiny 95 (Memory earns the full 30, since inclusionAI's own Q4_K_M GGUF is 4.8 GB, about 6 GB with a fifth added.)
- Agent interface, Devstral Small 2 +5: Devstral Small 2 65 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (11,362 characters), with the tokenizer's tekken file for mistral-common.); Ling-3.0-tiny 60 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
