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**Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct.** A small vision-language cousin for reading screenshots, documents, charts and video, in about 6 GB from Alibaba's Q4_K_M GGUF and every major runtime, under plain Apache 2.0. It has no thinking mode and documents tool calls only in the template. The main risk is no published safety work, so add your own guardrails before it drives a GUI.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 32768`, or `ollama run qwen3-vl:8b-instruct`\n2. In Ollama the plain `qwen3-vl:8b` tag is the Thinking edition, so name `8b-instruct`\n3. With the GGUF, load the mmproj vision file too, or images won't be read\n4. Parse tool calls as JSON inside `\u003ctool_call\u003e` tags, or use SGLang's `--tool-call-parser qwen`\n5. Use the card's sampling, `temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, top_k=20, presence_penalty=1.5` for vision and `temperature=1.0, top_p=1.0, top_k=40, presence_penalty=2.0` for text\n6. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n7. vLLM needs 0.11.0 or later and Transformers 4.57.0 or later\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apertus v1.5 8B or Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct?\n\nApertus v1.5 8B scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct's 54.9 (C), and leads in 3 of 4 scored categories.
