Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +22: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 59 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.); MiniMax-M2.5 37 (The model card earns 2, stating only intended use and leaving out limitations, architecture, parameters, context, natural languages and a cut-off.)
- Risk, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +15: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 45 (File safety 5, the weights are safetensors, but the dflash folder's mask_embedding.pt is a pickle beside them (15).); MiniMax-M2.5 30 (File safety earns 15, safetensors only with no pickle files, less 10 because every documented loading route passes trust_remote_code for the repository's Python…)
- Agent interface, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +10: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (3,868 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.); MiniMax-M2.5 75 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
