Why the edge:
- Reach, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning +45: 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.); 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, Inkling 2 Small +5: Inkling 2 Small 65 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code to run.); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 60 (File safety gets 15, safetensors only but loaded with trust_remote_code.)
- Agent interface, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning +5: Inkling 2 Small 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 90 (A Jinja template ships in the repository (20).)
