Why the edge:
- Risk, Muse Glimmer 30B +35: Muse Glimmer 30B 80 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF, with the ExecuTorch pos_embed.bin files read as raw embedding tables by their exact size and the Hub's scans, and no repos…); Step 3.7 Flash 45 (File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
- Documentation and upkeep, Muse Glimmer 30B +26: Muse Glimmer 30B 65 (Model card 20, all seven parts present, languages as a count of more than 100. Training data 10, a general description with a 4 January 2026 cut-off and no sour…); Step 3.7 Flash 39 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the language (in the metadata) are on the card.)

- Agent interface, Step 3.7 Flash +10: Muse Glimmer 30B 75 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.); Step 3.7 Flash 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,723 characters).)
