Why the edge:
- Reach, Qwen3.5-0.8B +40: Kimi K3.1 Pro 40 (Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB.); Qwen3.5-0.8B 80 (Memory earns the full 30, since LM Studio's Q4_K_M build with its projector is 0.73 GB (0.88 GB with the fifth added) and Ollama's Q8_0 build was 1.0 GB, both f…)
- Documentation and upkeep, Kimi K3.1 Pro +14: Kimi K3.1 Pro 51 (Model card 11, no limitations, languages or cut-off.); Qwen3.5-0.8B 37 (The card covers six of the seven items, missing only a cut-off (17), because it states the intended uses and warns about thinking loops.)

- Agent interface, Kimi K3.1 Pro +5: Kimi K3.1 Pro 65 (Chat template 10, the format is only code to run.); Qwen3.5-0.8B 60 (The template ships in the repository (20) and the model was trained for tool use with several calls per turn in the template (20).)
