Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Nanbeige4.2-3B +36: Laguna M.1 36 (Model card 11 of 20, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are there, limitations, languages and a cut-off aren't.); Nanbeige4.2-3B 72 (Model card 17, Intended use, limitations, the architecture, the parameters (3B outside the embeddings), the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on t…)
- Reach, Nanbeige4.2-3B +15: Laguna M.1 70 (Memory 5 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Poolside's 139.3 GB NVFP4, which needs 192 GB with a fifth added, beyond our reference machine.); Nanbeige4.2-3B 85 (Memory 30, the smallest build from Nanbeige is the FP8 repository (the 8-bit GPTQ one is the same size), 5.19 GB, and 5.19 GB × 1.2 = 6.2 GB, within 16 GB.)
