Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Inkling +36: Inkling 87 (Model card 17 of 20, everything but a dated knowledge cut-off, counting Thinking Machines' own model card page.); Kimi K3.1 Pro 51 (Model card 11, no limitations, languages or cut-off.)
- Risk, Inkling +20: Inkling 70 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code to run.); Kimi K3.1 Pro 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 for remote code and prompts built by the repository's script.)
- Agent interface, Inkling +20: Inkling 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Kimi K3.1 Pro 65 (Chat template 10, the format is only code to run.)
- Reach, Inkling +10: Inkling 50 (Memory 0 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Thinking Machines' NVFP4 at 592.0 GB, about 710 GB with a fifth added, far above 256 GB.); Kimi K3.1 Pro 40 (Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB.)
