Why the edge:
- Reach, LFM3-Omni-2B +15: 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.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 65 (Memory 5 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is UkisAI's IQ4_XS GGUF at 98.6 GB with the vision projector, 118.3 GB with a fifth, above the reference machine's GPU…)
- Agent interface, LFM3-Omni-2B +10: 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.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 60 (Chat template 20, the base's Jinja file.)
- Documentation and upkeep, LFM3-Omni-2B +9: 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)…); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 40 (Model card 5 of 20, intended use and context only.)
- Risk, Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next +5: LFM3-Omni-2B 40 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 45 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, though the card's vLLM command passes trust-remote-code.)
