Why the edge:
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +15: North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).); Qwen3.5-122B-A10B 70 (The template ships in the repository (20) and renders several tool calls per turn for a model trained for tool use (20).)
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +5: 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.); Qwen3.5-122B-A10B 80 (Memory earns 10 of 30, since Alibaba's GPTQ 4-bit build is 78.9 GB, about 95 GB with a fifth added, which fits our reference machine but no smaller band.)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +5: North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.); Qwen3.5-122B-A10B 55 (Safetensors only with no repository code run on load or to build prompts gives file safety 25, and files in the Qwen organisation the publisher's GitHub links t…)
