JEV-CPU vs Qwen-2.5-1B-RLCD

What actually separates them

1. Only one of them ships in a runnable local format

   Qwen-2.5-1B-RLCD has builds in MLX, so it runs without a Python stack. JEV-CPU ships original weights only, which means converting it yourself before it goes anywhere constrained.

2. Neither has been measured by anyone independent

   Both are days old and every figure in circulation about either was published by the people who trained it. The table above is what can be checked from repository metadata. Everything else about these two is currently unknown.
