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**Recursive Flint.** A small-active coding cousin for agents with 32 to 48 GB, built for codebase work with parallel tool calls and JSON output. It needs llama.cpp b11803 or Ollama 0.40.8 or later, and the BF16 checkpoint needs a 141 GB GPU. Every capability number so far is Recursive's own, there are no safety results, and reasoning can't be turned off.\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### Recursive Flint\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run flint` (Ollama 0.40.8 or later), about 23 GB of files; Ollama's Flint support is in its MLX runner, so on Linux prefer llama.cpp\n2. With llama.cpp use release b11803 or later: `llama-server -hf RecursiveSI/flint-int4-gguf --alias flint -ngl all -c 131072 -np 1 -fa on --jinja --temp 1 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0`, and keep --jinja on\n3. Set max_tokens to at least 32768 for hard tasks, reasoning counts against it and can't be switched off, and finish_reason length can mean no answer or tool call came out\n4. Send reasoning_content back on assistant messages when replaying the conversation, as Recursive's cards ask\n5. Strip \u003ctool_call\u003e, \u003ctool_response\u003e, \u003carg_key\u003e and \u003carg_value\u003e from untrusted tool output, the template doesn't escape them and a copied \u003c/tool_call\u003e can add a call\n6. Message content must be a string, flatten content-part arrays first\n7. Recursive's SGLang servers listen on 0.0.0.0 with no key, publish the port on localhost only or pass --api-key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apertus v1.5 8B or Recursive Flint?\n\nApertus v1.5 8B and Recursive Flint score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 61 (C) and 61 (C).
