Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +25: 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.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 43 (Model card 8 of 20, intended use, parameters and context only.)
- Reach, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +10: 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…); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 80 (Memory 25 of 30, UkisAI's 4-bit MLX build is 15.9 GB and its 4-bit GGUF with the vision projector 16.4 GB, both under 20 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB…)
- Agent interface, MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B +10: MiniCPM-V 4.7 35B-A3B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 60 (Chat template 20, the base's Jinja file.)
- 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.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs.)
