Why the edge:
- Reach, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B +45: Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 85 (Memory earns 20 because the smallest 4-bit build from a runtime's own library is Ollama's Q4_K_M at 23 GB, which comes to 27.6 GB with the fifth added, so it ne…); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 40 (Memory 15, the only build is the safetensors set, 38.14 GB with its MTP head, since the Hub counts 9.41B of its parameters in F32. Runtimes 0, none of the six r…)
- Documentation and upkeep, SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview +13: Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 31 (The model card earns 11, covering intended use, architecture, parameters and context but not limitations, languages or a cut-off.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 44 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameter counts, the training context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.)
- Agent interface, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B +10: Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 70 (The chat template earns 20 as a Jinja file in the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
- Risk, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B +5: Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 55 (File safety earns 25 for safetensors only, loaded by the runtimes' own code and a Jinja template with nothing run from the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
