Why the edge:
- Agent interface, Ripple-65B Preview +15: Ripple-65B Preview 75 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 60 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (7,756 characters).)
- Reach, Ripple-65B Preview +5: Ripple-65B Preview 45 (Memory 10 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Ricursive's NVFP4 at 57.2 GB, 68.7 GB with a fifth added, which is over 64 GB and fits our reference machine.); 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, Ripple-65B Preview +5: Ripple-65B Preview 55 (File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 because the documented way to run it loads Ricursive's Python.); SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview 50 (File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25).)
- Documentation and upkeep, Ripple-65B Preview +5: Ripple-65B Preview 49 (Model card 14 of 20, no limitations and no knowledge 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.)
