Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +30: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 95 (Memory 30, OpenBMB's own IQ4_XS GGUF is 0.64 GB, 1.54 GB with the 0.90 GB vision projector, and 1.54 GB × 1.2 = 1.9 GB, which fits 16 GB with room to spare.); MiniMax-M2.5 65 (Memory earns 5. MiniMax only publishes its 230 GB FP8 release, and the smallest build of 4-bit or better from a runtime's own library is LM Studio's MLX 4-bit a…)
- Risk, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +25: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors in the main repository and the AWQ, GPTQ and int4 builds, GGUF in the GGUF build, with no .bin, .pt, .pth or .py files in the main r…); 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…)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +11: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 48 (Model card 8, Intended use (image, multi-image and video understanding on device), architecture (early visual-token compression inside the vision encoder) and p…); 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.)
- Agent interface, MiniMax-M2.5 +5: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 7,249 characters.); MiniMax-M2.5 75 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
