Why the edge:
- Reach, Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +45: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 85 (Memory 25, Tencent's own Q4_K_M GGUF is 18.24 GB, and 18.24 GB × 1.2 = 21.9 GB, which fits 24 GB but not 16 GB.); Inkling 2 Small 40 (Memory 0 of 30, the smallest build is Thinking Machines' NVFP4 checkpoint at 393.5 GB, about 472 GB with a fifth added, above the 256 GB line.)
- Agent interface, Inkling 2 Small +20: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 65 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository.); Inkling 2 Small 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Risk, Inkling 2 Small +5: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 60 (File safety 25, 51 safetensors shards and no pickle or Python files.); Inkling 2 Small 65 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code to run.)
