Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiniCPM5-2B +56: MiniCPM5-2B 92 (Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off.); Ornith-1.5-122B 36 (Model card 11, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a knowledge cut-off.)
- Reach, MiniCPM5-2B +15: MiniCPM5-2B 90 (Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added.); Ornith-1.5-122B 75 (Memory 10, since Ornith's own MLX 4-bit build is 69.7 GB and needs about 83.6 GB with the fifth added, over 64 GB and inside the reference machine's 107.4 GB, a…)
- Agent interface, Ornith-1.5-122B +10: MiniCPM5-2B 75 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Ornith-1.5-122B 85 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Risk, MiniCPM5-2B +5: MiniCPM5-2B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, and the documented way to load it runs no code from the repository.); Ornith-1.5-122B 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…)
