Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B +31: LFM3-Omni-2B 49 (Model card 14, Intended use (one on-device model in place of separate speech recognition, vision, language and speech models), architecture, parameters (2.17B)…); Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B 80 (The model card earns 20, with all seven items on the card and its subcards.)
- Risk, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B +20: LFM3-Omni-2B 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B 60 (File safety earns 15, safetensors only but with the documented serving path passing trust-remote-code and loading a reasoning parser file from the repository.)
- Agent interface, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B +20: LFM3-Omni-2B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (13,513 characters), with roles, images, video and audio, tools, deferred tools and tool results.); Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B 90 (The chat template earns 20 as a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Reach, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B +10: LFM3-Omni-2B 80 (Memory 30, Liquid's Q4_K_M GGUF is 1.10 GB with its 0.29 GB projector file, and 1.39 GB × 1.2 = 1.7 GB, which fits 8 GB, well inside the 16 GB line.); Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B 90 (Memory earns 25 because the smallest 4-bit build is Ollama's NVFP4 MLX build at 18 GB, 21.6 GB with the fifth added, and NVIDIA's own NVFP4 build lands in the s…)
