Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +40: 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.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 90 (Memory 25, since OpenBMB's IQ4_XS GGUF with its vision projector is 19.6 GB and needs about 23.6 GB with the fifth added, which fits 24 GB, while its Q4_K_M GGU…)
- Documentation and upkeep, Inkling +19: Inkling 87 (Model card 17 of 20, everything but a dated knowledge cut-off, counting Thinking Machines' own model card page.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 68 (Model card 8, it covers intended use, architecture and parameters but not limitations, context length, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Risk, Inkling +15: Inkling 70 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code to run.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no Python in the main repository and no remote code needed.)
- Agent interface, Inkling +15: Inkling 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
