Why the edge:
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +15: MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +5: MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B 80 (Memory 30 of 30, Ollama's library build at q4_K_M is 6.6 GB, 7.9 GB with a fifth added, while Xiaomi's only build is BF16 at 18.85 GB.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB.)
- Risk, MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B +5: MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B 65 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code runs.); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
