Why the edge:
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +30: MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 90 (Memory 25, since OpenBMB's IQ4_XS GGUF with its vision projector is 19.6 GB and needs about 23.6 GB with the fifth added, which fits 24 GB, while its Q4_K_M GGU…); MiniMax-M2.7 60 (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 Q4_K_M GGUF…)
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +26: MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 68 (Model card 8, it covers intended use, architecture and parameters but not limitations, context length, languages or a knowledge cut-off.); MiniMax-M2.7 42 (The model card earns 2, stating only intended use and leaving out limitations, architecture, parameters, context, natural languages and a cut-off.)
- Risk, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +25: MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no Python in the main repository and no remote code needed.); MiniMax-M2.7 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…)
- Agent interface, MiniMax-M2.7 +5: MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); MiniMax-M2.7 75 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.)
