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.); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, nothing from the repository runs.)
- Reach, Devstral Small 2 +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.); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 85 (Memory 25 of 30, Jackrong's IQ4_XS GGUF is 15.4 GB, about 18.5 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB.)
- 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.); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 60 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 +5: Devstral Small 2 46 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.); Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 51 (Model card 11 of 20, missing architecture, context and a cut-off.)
