Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Ornith-1.5-397B +25: Ling-3.1-flash-1019 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (6,042 characters), which handles tools, the thinking switch and preserved reasoning.); Ornith-1.5-397B 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Ling-3.1-flash-1019 +20: Ling-3.1-flash-1019 56 (Model card 11, Intended use (complex reasoning, multi-step tasks and agentic workflows), architecture, parameters (560B total, 25B active) and context (1M claim…); Ornith-1.5-397B 36 (Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Reach, Ornith-1.5-397B +5: Ling-3.1-flash-1019 60 (Memory 0, inclusionAI's only build is the FP8 release at 573.78 GB, × 1.2 = 688.5 GB, above 256 GB, and no runtime's library has a build.); Ornith-1.5-397B 65 (Memory 0, since the smallest 4-bit build, Ollama's at 242 GB, needs about 290 GB with the fifth added, above the 256 GB band, and Ornith's own Q4_K_M GGUF and N…)
- Risk, Ornith-1.5-397B +5: Ling-3.1-flash-1019 45 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25), less 10 because the card's documented vLLM command passes --trust-remote-code, which runs the…); Ornith-1.5-397B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and no Python in any of Ornith's repositories for this size, so the card's --trust-remote-code flag loads nothing from…)
