Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +10: Laguna S 2.1 75 (Memory 10 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Ollama's 66 GB MLX nvfp4, which needs 96 GB with a fifth added and fits our 128 GB 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 S 2.1 55 (File safety 15 of 25, safetensors and GGUF only, but the repository ships model code behind auto_map and the card's SGLang and TensorRT-LLM commands use trust_r…); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Laguna S 2.1 +5: Laguna S 2.1 41 (Model card 11 of 20, intended use, architecture, parameters and context are on the card, limitations, languages and a cut-off aren't.); North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.)
