Why the edge:
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +40: InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview 45 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository, though it doesn't match the tokenizer.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +20: InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview 65 (Memory 15 of 30, the only builds are BF16 at 42.5 GB by the repository's safetensors index, or 51 GB with a fifth added, which fits 64 GB.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB.)
- Documentation and upkeep, North Mini Code 1.0 +8: InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview 28 (Model card 8 of 20, the family card misses limitations, context, languages and a cut-off.); North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +5: InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository.); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
