Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B +17: 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-1.5-9B 31 (Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Agent interface, Ornith-1.5-9B +15: MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B 70 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 7,249 characters.); Ornith-1.5-9B 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- 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-1.5-9B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only and no Python in any of Ornith's repositories, so the card's --trust-remote-code flag loads nothing from the repositor…)
