Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +16: GLM-5.3-Flash 58 (The card covers architecture, parameters and languages and misses four of the seven items, for 8. Training data is 5, a 30T-token corpus described with no sourc…); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 74 (Model card 14, Intended use, a long limitations section, the architecture and training method, the parameters (31B) and the language (English) are on the card.)

- Agent interface, GLM-5.3-Flash +10: GLM-5.3-Flash 70 (A Jinja chat template sits in both repositories, for 20. The tool-calling format is 10, because it is defined only by the template and the glm47 parser is named…); OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 19,300 characters, the publisher's own.)
