Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM5-2B +50: Kimi K3.1 Pro 40 (Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB.); MiniCPM5-2B 90 (Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added.)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM5-2B +41: Kimi K3.1 Pro 51 (Model card 11, no limitations, languages or cut-off.); MiniCPM5-2B 92 (Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off.)
- Agent interface, MiniCPM5-2B +10: Kimi K3.1 Pro 65 (Chat template 10, the format is only code to run.); MiniCPM5-2B 75 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Risk, MiniCPM5-2B +5: Kimi K3.1 Pro 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 for remote code and prompts built by the repository's script.); MiniCPM5-2B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, and the documented way to load it runs no code from the repository.)
