It runs in about 4 GB from InternScience's Q4_K_M GGUF, in vLLM, SGLang, Transformers or llama.cpp. The main risks are an undeclared base, no safety results or agent guidance, and a template that adds its own dated system prompt when you send none.\n\n**Apertus v1.5 8B.** A fully open 8B cousin, training data included, for multilingual chat and tool calls with images and audio in. It needs about 22 GB in BF16 and Swiss AI's own vLLM or Transformers fork, since no released runtime supports it. The main risks are a gated download with a policy to pass on and tools that fail with thinking on.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agents-A1-4B\n\n1. Quickest start is `llama-server -hf InternScience/Agents-A1-4B-Q4_K_M-GGUF --jinja`, about 3.4 GB with the vision projector\n2. With vLLM use `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, as on the card, and add `--language-model-only` for text-only work\n3. Always send your own system message, or the template inserts InternScience's default prompt with the date fixed at 2026-07-14\n4. The card recommends temperature 0.85, top_p 0.95, top_k 20, min_p 0 and presence_penalty 1.1, and there is no generation_config.json to set them\n5. Thinking is on by default, send `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, a switch the card doesn't mention\n6. The config declares a multi-token prediction layer that isn't shipped, so don't turn on MTP speculative decoding\n7. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n\n### Apertus v1.5 8B\n\n1. Accept the terms on the card and set HF_TOKEN before downloading\n2. Use Swiss AI's Docker image ghcr.io/swiss-ai/vllm_apertus_1.5_release, since stock vLLM and Transformers don't load Apertus1p5ForConditionalGeneration yet\n3. Serve with `--chat-template-content-format string --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser apertus` for tools, and leave thinking off when you need tools\n4. For thinking, set `--reasoning-parser apertus` and `--default-chat-template-kwargs.enable_thinking true`, and budget max tokens generously\n5. Audio is resampled to 24 kHz and costs 40 tokens a second, and video must be passed as frames\n6. Don't cast the loaded model with .half(), the image and audio tokenizers must stay in F32\n7. If you redistribute the weights, the policy says you must pass it on and get the recipient's express assent\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agents-A1-4B or Apertus v1.5 8B?\n\nAgents-A1-4B and Apertus v1.5 8B score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 61 (C) and 61 (C).
