Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Step 3.7 Flash +15: 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).); Step 3.7 Flash 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,723 characters).)
- Reach, Qwen3.5-122B-A10B +10: 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.); Step 3.7 Flash 70 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits is StepFun's IQ4_XS GGUF, 104.99 GB with the 3.97 GB projector, and 108.96 GB × 1.2 = 130.8 GB, over what the reference m…)
- Risk, Qwen3.5-122B-A10B +10: 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…); Step 3.7 Flash 45 (File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
- Documentation and upkeep, Step 3.7 Flash +5: Qwen3.5-122B-A10B 34 (The card covers five of the seven items and misses limitations and a cut-off (14).); Step 3.7 Flash 39 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the language (in the metadata) are on the card.)
