Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-o 4.5 +50: 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.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 40 (Memory 15, the only build is the safetensors set, 38.14 GB with its MTP head, since the Hub counts 9.41B of its parameters in F32. Runtimes 0, none of the six r…)
- Agent interface, SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview +25: MiniCPM-o 4.5 35 (Chat template 20, a Jinja template in the tokenizer config.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-o 4.5 +22: MiniCPM-o 4.5 66 (Model card 11 of 20, limitations, context length and a knowledge cut-off are missing.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 44 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameter counts, the training context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.)
- Risk, SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview +10: 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.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
