Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +32: 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.); 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.)
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +25: 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…); 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 35B-A3B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Ornith-1.5-397B 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Risk, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +5: 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.); 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…)
