Why the edge:
- Reach, North Mini Code 1.0 +30: 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-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55 (Memory earns 10, because the only build is the 70.5 GB BF16 checkpoint, about 85 GB with a fifth added, which fits only the reference machine's band.)
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +25: North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).); Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 60 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, North Mini Code 1.0 +10: North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.); Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 26 (Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and languages are there, limitations, context and a cut-off aren't.)
- 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-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, so the cookbook's trust_remote_code flag runs nothing.)
