Why the edge:
- Risk, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B +30: 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).); Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B 75 (File safety earns 25, safetensors only with no Python files, and nothing from the repository runs to load it or parse its output.)
- Reach, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B +20: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 65 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits or better is ggml-org's MXFP4 GGUF, 168.93 GB with its projector, and 168.93 GB × 1.2 = 202.7 GB, within 256 GB.); Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B 85 (Memory earns 25, since ggml-org's 18.9 GB Q4_0 GGUF and Ollama's 19 GB nvfp4 build both need under 24 GB with the fifth added.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B +16: 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.); Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B 75 (The model card earns 20, all seven items with limitations in the linked subcard.)
- Agent interface, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B +5: 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.); Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B 90 (The chat template earns 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
