Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview +18: Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 26 (Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and languages are there, limitations, context and a cut-off aren't.); 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.)
- Reach, Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct +15: Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55 (Memory earns 10, because the only build is the 70.5 GB BF16 checkpoint, about 85 GB with a fifth added, which fits only the reference machine's band.); 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…)
- Risk, Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct +5: Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, so the cookbook's trust_remote_code flag runs nothing.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
