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.); Ornith-1.5-397B 65 (Memory 0, since the smallest 4-bit build, Ollama's at 242 GB, needs about 290 GB with the fifth added, above the 256 GB band, and Ornith's own Q4_K_M GGUF and N…)
- Agent interface, Ornith-1.5-397B +15: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 7,249 characters.); Ornith-1.5-397B 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +12: 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…); Ornith-1.5-397B 36 (Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Risk, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +5: 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…); Ornith-1.5-397B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and no Python in any of Ornith's repositories for this size, so the card's --trust-remote-code flag loads nothing from…)
