Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +35: Mistral Large 4 50 (Memory scores 0, since the smallest 4-bit build, Mistral's NVFP4, is 610 GB, about 732 GB with a fifth added, far above 256 GB.); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Memory 25, the smallest build from Cohere is the w4a16 repository, 19.38 GB, and 19.38 GB × 1.2 = 23.3 GB, within 24 GB.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Mistral Large 4 +28: Mistral Large 4 64 (The card covers intended use, architecture, parameters, context and languages, and misses limitations and a cut-off (14).); North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.)
- Risk, Mistral Large 4 +15: Mistral Large 4 75 (File safety scores 25, safetensors only and loaded by Transformers' own code with a Jinja template.); North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
- Agent interface, Mistral Large 4 +10: Mistral Large 4 95 (The chat template is in the repository (20).); North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).)
