Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning +35: Granite Speech 5.0 2B 55 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (193 characters).); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 90 (A Jinja template ships in the repository (20).)
- Documentation and upkeep, Granite Speech 5.0 2B +22: Granite Speech 5.0 2B 92 (Model card 17, Intended use, limitations, the architecture, the size, the 16K positions and two-minute segments, and the languages are on the card.); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 70 (The card covers all seven fields, reading the 2019 to 2025 data collection period as the cut-off (20).)
- Reach, Granite Speech 5.0 2B +10: Granite Speech 5.0 2B 95 (Memory 30, the smallest build listed that keeps 4 bits is IBM's Q4_K_M GGUF, 1.14 GB with the 1.16 GB audio projector, and 2.30 GB × 1.2 = 2.8 GB, within 16 GB.); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 85 (Memory earns 20 because the smallest 4-bit builds, Ollama's NVFP4 at 21 GB and NVIDIA's NVFP4 at 22.4 GB, need about 25 to 27 GB with the fifth added, which fit…)
- Risk, Granite Speech 5.0 2B +10: Granite Speech 5.0 2B 70 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in either repository.); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 60 (File safety gets 15, safetensors only but loaded with trust_remote_code.)
