Why the edge:
- Reach, Qwen3-Coder-Next +45: Qwen3-Coder-Next 85 (Memory earns 15 of 30, since Alibaba's own Q4_K_M GGUF is 48.4 GB, about 58 GB with a fifth added, inside the 64 GB band, and LM Studio's MLX and Ollama's build…); 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…)
- Agent interface, Qwen3-Coder-Next +15: Qwen3-Coder-Next 75 (The template ships in the repository (20).); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
