Why the edge:
- Agent interface, LFM3-Audio-2B +50: LFM3-Audio-2B 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (9,328 characters), with roles, audio, tools, deferred tools and tool results.); Olmo 3 7B Think 35 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
- Risk, Olmo 3 7B Think +35: LFM3-Audio-2B 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Olmo 3 7B Think 75 (File safety earns 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs.)
- Reach, LFM3-Audio-2B +5: LFM3-Audio-2B 80 (Memory 30, Liquid's Q4_K_M GGUF is 1.10 GB with its 0.17 GB projector file, and 1.27 GB × 1.2 = 1.5 GB, which fits 8 GB, well inside the 16 GB line.); Olmo 3 7B Think 75 (Memory earns the full 30, since Ollama's 4-bit build is 4.5 GB and fits 8 GB (per the 21 October check of Ollama's library).)
