Why the edge:
- Reach, Muse Glimmer 30B +50: Kimi K3.1 Pro 40 (Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB.); Muse Glimmer 30B 90 (Memory 25, Meta's 16.8 GB Q4_K_M GGUF needs about 20 GB with the runtime's fifth, so it fits a 24 GB card but not 16 GB.)
- Risk, Muse Glimmer 30B +30: Kimi K3.1 Pro 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 for remote code and prompts built by the repository's script.); Muse Glimmer 30B 80 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF, with the ExecuTorch pos_embed.bin files read as raw embedding tables by their exact size and the Hub's scans, and no repos…)
- Documentation and upkeep, Muse Glimmer 30B +14: Kimi K3.1 Pro 51 (Model card 11, no limitations, languages or cut-off.); Muse Glimmer 30B 65 (Model card 20, all seven parts present, languages as a count of more than 100. Training data 10, a general description with a 4 January 2026 cut-off and no sour…)
- Agent interface, Muse Glimmer 30B +10: Kimi K3.1 Pro 65 (Chat template 10, the format is only code to run.); Muse Glimmer 30B 75 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
