Why the edge:
- Risk, Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B +25: MiniMax-M2.5 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…); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 55 (File safety 25, 21 safetensors shards and no pickle or Python files, and config.json has no auto_map.)
- Agent interface, MiniMax-M2.5 +25: MiniMax-M2.5 75 (The chat template earns 20 for chat_template.jinja in the repository.); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 50 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, the same as the template in tokenizer_config.json.)
- Reach, MiniMax-M2.5 +10: MiniMax-M2.5 65 (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 MLX 4-bit a…); Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B 55 (Memory 10, Alibaba's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 69.32 GB, and 69.32 GB × 1.2 = 83.2 GB, above 64 GB and inside the reference machine's GPU share.)
