Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-o 4.5 +55: LongCat-2.5 35 (Memory 0, the smallest build is Meituan's W4A4 repository, 1,336 GB, and 1,336 GB × 1.2 = 1,603 GB, far above 256 GB.); MiniCPM-o 4.5 90 (Memory 30, OpenBMB's 4-bit GGUF with its vision file is 5.9 GB, about 7 GB with a fifth added.)
- Agent interface, LongCat-2.5 +40: LongCat-2.5 75 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (11,823 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.); MiniCPM-o 4.5 35 (Chat template 20, a Jinja template in the tokenizer config.)
- Risk, LongCat-2.5 +20: LongCat-2.5 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.); MiniCPM-o 4.5 40 (File safety 5 of 25, two pickle files sit in the speech stage and the documented load runs repository code.)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-o 4.5 +20: LongCat-2.5 46 (Model card 11, Intended use, limitations (the usage considerations), the architecture and the parameter counts are on the card.); MiniCPM-o 4.5 66 (Model card 11 of 20, limitations, context length and a knowledge cut-off are missing.)
