Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +29: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 68 (Model card 8, Intended use (the write path of Mem0, MemOS and Hy-Memory), parameters (30B, about 3B active) and languages (English and Chinese, in the metadata)…); 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.)
- Agent interface, Step 3.7 Flash +20: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 65 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository.); Step 3.7 Flash 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,723 characters).)
- Reach, Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +15: 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.); 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, Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +15: Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 60 (File safety 25, 51 safetensors shards and no pickle or Python files.); Step 3.7 Flash 45 (File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
