Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Step 3.7 Flash +11: GLM-4.7-Flash 28 (The card covers architecture, parameters and languages and misses four of the seven items, for 8. Training data is 0, as the card describes none.); Step 3.7 Flash 39 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the language (in the metadata) are on the card.)
- Reach, GLM-4.7-Flash +10: GLM-4.7-Flash 80 (Memory earns 25, since Ollama's smallest build is the 19 GB q4_K_M one, about 22.8 GB with the fifth added, which fits 24 GB.); Step 3.7 Flash 70 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits is StepFun's IQ4_XS GGUF, 104.99 GB with the 3.97 GB projector, and 108.96 GB × 1.2 = 130.8 GB, over what the reference m…)
- Risk, GLM-4.7-Flash +10: GLM-4.7-Flash 55 (File safety is full, with safetensors only and the card loading it through Transformers' own code without remote code.); Step 3.7 Flash 45 (File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
