Why the edge:
- Reach, Gemma 4 E4B IT +55: Gemma 4 E4B IT 95 (Memory 30, Google's own 4-bit QAT GGUF with its projector is 6.15 GB, which with a fifth on top is 7.4 GB and fits in 16 GB or less.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 40 (Memory 15, the only build is the safetensors set, 38.14 GB with its MTP head, since the Hub counts 9.41B of its parameters in F32. Runtimes 0, none of the six r…)
- Documentation and upkeep, Gemma 4 E4B IT +31: Gemma 4 E4B IT 75 (Model card 20, all seven items are there.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 44 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameter counts, the training context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.)
- Agent interface, Gemma 4 E4B IT +25: Gemma 4 E4B IT 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
- Risk, Gemma 4 E4B IT +20: Gemma 4 E4B IT 70 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, with nothing from the repository run on load.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
