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.); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 55 (Memory earns the full 30, since the only build is 6.69 GB of BF16 weights that need about 8 GB with the fifth added.)
- Risk, North Mini Code 1.0 +15: North Mini Code 1.0 60 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 45 (File safety gets 15, safetensors only but loaded with trust_remote_code or through a prebuilt SGLang wheel from the repository.)
- Documentation and upkeep, Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 +14: North Mini Code 1.0 36 (Model card 11, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters and the context are on the card.); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 50 (The card covers intended use and the new attention, and misses limitations, parameters, context length, languages and a cut-off (5).)
- Agent interface, North Mini Code 1.0 +10: North Mini Code 1.0 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (12,397 characters).); Baidu Unlimited-OCR-2 75 (Read for a document parser, the tool-calling, trained tool calling and structured-output lines stand for what it takes and returns.)
