Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +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.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB.)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +5: Laguna M.1 55 (File safety 15 of 25, safetensors only, but the repository ships model code behind auto_map and the card's SGLang and TensorRT-LLM instructions use trust_remote…); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
