Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +31: OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 74 (Model card 14, Intended use, a long limitations section, the architecture and training method, the parameters (31B) and the language (English) are on the card.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 43 (Model card 8 of 20, intended use, parameters and context only.)
- Reach, Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B +30: OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 50 (Memory 10, the publisher's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 62.55 GB for the 15 shards the index names, and 62.55 GB × 1.2 = 75.1 GB, above 64 GB and inside…); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 80 (Memory 25 of 30, UkisAI's 4-bit MLX build is 15.9 GB and its 4-bit GGUF with the vision projector 16.4 GB, both under 20 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB…)
- Risk, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +5: OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only, with no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python files.); Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-27B 50 (File safety 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs.)
