Why the edge:
- Agent interface, LFM3-1.7B +50: LFM3-1.7B 100 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,129 characters), with roles, tools, deferred tools, tool results and the thinking switch.); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 50 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, the same as the template in tokenizer_config.json.)
- Reach, LFM3-1.7B +30: LFM3-1.7B 85 (Memory 30, Liquid's Q4_K_M GGUF is 1.10 GB, and 1.10 GB × 1.2 = 1.3 GB, which fits 8 GB, well inside the 16 GB line.); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 55 (Memory 10, Alibaba's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 69.32 GB, and 69.32 GB × 1.2 = 83.2 GB, above 64 GB and inside the reference machine's GPU share.)
- Documentation and upkeep, LFM3-1.7B +26: LFM3-1.7B 67 (Model card 17, Intended use (local agents, tool calling, structured outputs, fine-tuning), a limitation (not recommended for agentic coding or complex multi-ste…); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 41 (Model card 11, the card gives intended use (simulating agent environments), architecture, parameters and context length.)
- Risk, Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B +15: LFM3-1.7B 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 55 (File safety 25, 21 safetensors shards and no pickle or Python files, and config.json has no auto_map.)
