Why the edge:
- Risk, EXAONE 4.5 33B +15: EXAONE 4.5 33B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.); MiniMax-M3.1-Flash 35 (File safety earns 15, safetensors only, less 10 because the SGLang route the card links passes trust_remote_code for the repository's configuration and processo…)
- Agent interface, EXAONE 4.5 33B +15: EXAONE 4.5 33B 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,930 characters).); MiniMax-M3.1-Flash 70 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
- Reach, EXAONE 4.5 33B +10: 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.); MiniMax-M3.1-Flash 55 (Memory earns nothing.)
- Documentation and upkeep, EXAONE 4.5 33B +9: EXAONE 4.5 33B 50 (Model card 20, Uses (the quickstart's question answering, document and agent examples), limitations, the architecture, the parameters, the context, the language…); MiniMax-M3.1-Flash 41 (The model card earns 11, missing limitations, languages and a knowledge cut-off.)
