Why the edge:
- Reach, LFM3-Audio-2B +25: 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.); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 55 (Memory earns the full 30, since the only build is 6.69 GB of BF16 weights that need about 8 GB with the fifth added.)
- Agent interface, LFM3-Audio-2B +10: 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.); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 75 (Read for a document parser, the tool-calling, trained tool calling and structured-output lines stand for what it takes and returns.)
- Risk, Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 +5: LFM3-Audio-2B 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 45 (File safety gets 15, safetensors only but loaded with trust_remote_code or through a prebuilt SGLang wheel from the repository.)
