Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Gemma 4 12B IT +37: Gemma 4 12B IT 85 (Model card 20, all seven items are there.); WeVisOne-VL-4B 48 (Model card 8, Intended use, limitations and the architecture are on the card.)
- Reach, Gemma 4 12B IT +25: Gemma 4 12B IT 95 (Memory 30, Google's own 4-bit QAT GGUF with its projector is 7.15 GB, which with a fifth on top is 8.6 GB and fits in 16 GB or less.); WeVisOne-VL-4B 70 (Memory 30, the only build from Tencent is the BF16 safetensors file with its decoder, 9.7 GB, and 9.7 GB × 1.2 = 11.6 GB, within 16 GB.)
- Risk, Gemma 4 12B IT +15: Gemma 4 12B IT 70 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, with nothing from the repository run on load.); WeVisOne-VL-4B 55 (File safety 15, the backbone is safetensors, but mask_decoder.pt, a PyTorch pickle the card calls a required component, sits beside it.)
- Agent interface, Gemma 4 12B IT +15: Gemma 4 12B IT 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); WeVisOne-VL-4B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,292 characters), Qwen3-VL's template.)
