Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +34: 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-Flash-Next 40 (Model card 5 of 20, intended use and context only.)
- Reach, Swift 1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next +15: 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-Flash-Next 65 (Memory 5 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is UkisAI's IQ4_XS GGUF at 98.6 GB with the vision projector, 118.3 GB with a fifth, above the reference machine's GPU…)
- Risk, OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT +10: 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-Flash-Next 45 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, though the card's vLLM command passes trust-remote-code.)
