Why the edge:
- Reach, Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 +5: Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 85 (Memory 25 of 30, Jackrong's IQ4_XS GGUF is 15.4 GB, about 18.5 GB with a fifth added, which fits 24 GB.); ZAYA1-8B 80 (Memory 30, the smallest build from Zyphra is the MXFP4-Experts repository, 5.85 GB, and 5.85 GB × 1.2 = 7.0 GB, within 16 GB.)
- Risk, ZAYA1-8B +5: Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-V2 50 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, nothing from the repository runs.); ZAYA1-8B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository.)
