Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Granite 4.2 30B +28: Granite 4.2 30B 87 (Model card 17, Intended use (best for), limitations (ethical considerations and limitations), architecture, parameters (30B), context length (128K native) and 1…); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 59 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.)
- Reach, Granite 4.2 30B +25: Granite 4.2 30B 90 (Memory 25, IBM's own 4-bit MLX build granite-4.2-30b-q4-mlx is 16.47 GB, and 16.47 GB × 1.2 = 19.8 GB, which fits 24 GB but not 16 GB.); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 65 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits or better is ggml-org's MXFP4 GGUF, 168.93 GB with its projector, and 168.93 GB × 1.2 = 202.7 GB, within 256 GB.)
- Risk, Granite 4.2 30B +10: Granite 4.2 30B 55 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 45 (File safety 5, the weights are safetensors, but the dflash folder's mask_embedding.pt is a pickle beside them (15).)
