Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Ripple-65B Preview +10: Kimi K3.1 Pro 65 (Chat template 10, the format is only code to run.); Ripple-65B Preview 75 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
- Reach, Ripple-65B Preview +5: Kimi K3.1 Pro 40 (Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB.); Ripple-65B Preview 45 (Memory 10 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Ricursive's NVFP4 at 57.2 GB, 68.7 GB with a fifth added, which is over 64 GB and fits our reference machine.)
- Risk, Ripple-65B Preview +5: Kimi K3.1 Pro 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 for remote code and prompts built by the repository's script.); Ripple-65B Preview 55 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 because the documented way to run it loads Ricursive's Python.)
