- Kronos: C 55.2, rank #122 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/kronos.min.md
- MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B: C 61, rank #77 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/minicpm-v-4-7-35b-a3b.min.md
- Kronos, good for Agents that need a quick local forecast or synthetic sample of a candlestick series on modest hardware, for research or as one input among others.
- MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B, good for Agents that need to read screenshots, documents and video on a local machine with 24 to 32 GB for the model, under a permissive licence Ahead on Reach, 90 against 55; Risk, 55 against 50; Agent interface, 70 against 60; Documentation and upkeep, 68 against 61.

Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +35: Kronos 55 (Memory 30, the publisher's Kronos-mini with its tokeniser is 0.03 GB and even Kronos-base is 0.43 GB in FP32. Runtimes 0, it runs only through the publisher's o…); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 90 (Memory 25, since OpenBMB's IQ4_XS GGUF with its vision projector is 19.6 GB and needs about 23.6 GB with the fifth added, which fits 24 GB, while its Q4_K_M GGU…)
- Agent interface, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +10: Kronos 60 (Read for a forecasting model, the tool-calling, trained tool calling and structured-output lines stand for what it takes and returns.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +7: Kronos 61 (Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are there, limitations, languages and a cut-off aren't.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 68 (Model card 8, it covers intended use, architecture and parameters but not limitations, context length, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Risk, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +5: Kronos 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, but the only documented loading path is the publisher's Python package in place of a runtime.); MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no Python in the main repository and no remote code needed.)
