## Which one, for what

### Arete-27B (C)

Good for: Agents that want Qwen3.8-27B's coding and tool use without its handling of politically sensitive topics, on a 24 GB card or a 128 GB machine

Watch for: No quantised build from Nous Research, so the GGUF route depends on a third party

### MiniCPM5-2B (C)

Good for: On-device and laptop agents that want a 2 GB tool-calling helper with long context and open training data

Ahead on:
- Reach, 90 against 50
- Agent interface, 75 against 60
- Documentation and upkeep, 92 against 63

Watch for: OpenBMB documents only a Think mode for the 2B, so every answer starts with reasoning


## Why the edge

### Reach: MiniCPM5-2B +40

- Arete-27B (50): Memory 10, the only build from Nous Research is the 54.7 GB BF16 release, which needs about 66 GB and fits the reference machine. Runtimes 15, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers run the base's architecture from those files, and llama.cpp isn't credited because Nous Research publishes no GGUF. Builds 0, no quantised build of its own. Terms 15, Apache 2.0. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 0, no provider. 10 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 50.
- MiniCPM5-2B (90): Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added. Runtimes 25, the cap, since the model is a stock Llama and vLLM, SGLang, released Transformers, a released llama.cpp and Ollama all run it. Builds 15, OpenBMB ships GGUF at three precisions plus MLX and GPTQ 4-bit. Terms 10, the LICENSE is plain Apache 2.0 but the card prohibits jailbreaking and injection testing and limits use to ethical purposes, which reads as a use policy on top (dated 21 October 2026). Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, OpenBMB has no API for it, no inference provider is listed on its Hugging Face page and OpenRouter doesn't carry it.

### Documentation and upkeep: MiniCPM5-2B +29

- Arete-27B (63): Model card 8, no limitations, context length, languages or cut-off. Training data 20, the training pairs and the evaluation set are published with their counts. Last change 20, a commit on 6 November 2026. Responsiveness 0, none of 13 discussions has a reply from Nous Research. Version policy 5, a first release. File health 10, the files agree. 8 + 20 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 63.
- MiniCPM5-2B (92): Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off. Training data 20, all eight training datasets are published on Hugging Face and named per stage with sizes. Last change 15, a template fix on 29 September 2026, 36 days ago, with nothing newer in OpenBMB's MiniCPM5 repositories on Hugging Face (builds last changed 12 September) or its GitHub repository (21 September). Responsiveness 20, OpenBMB members answered 16 of the 23 questions in the discussions, the newest reply on 29 September. Version policy 10, earlier models and checkpoints sit in their own repositories and the GitHub changelog dates each release. File health 10, config, tokenizer, template and card agree and no broken-file report waited on 21 October, though OpenBMB's GGUF, MLX and GPTQ repositories still carry the template from before the 29 September fix.

### Agent interface: MiniCPM5-2B +15

- Arete-27B (60): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, only the template says it. Trained tool calling 20, several calls a turn and agentic work as an intended use. Structured output 0 and reasoning control 0, neither is documented on the card. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native. 20 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.
- MiniCPM5-2B (75): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card and OpenBMB's cookbooks document the XML call format, the tools request and the minicpm5 parser in SGLang and vLLM. Trained tool calling 20, agent SFT on 500K samples and a template that renders several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, nothing documents asking for JSON. Reasoning control 0, a judgement call, because OpenBMB's own cookbooks call Think the only supported mode for the 2B even though the template accepts enable_thinking false. Context 10, 131,072 tokens native with no rope scaling.

## Verdicts

**Arete-27B.** Qwen3.8-27B with its answers on politically sensitive topics retrained, four days old when read. The training data is published, which is rare. Nous Research ships BF16 only, so a small machine runs it from bartowski's GGUF, and the card documents none of the tool or thinking controls it inherits.

**MiniCPM5-2B.** A 2B dense model for local tool calling and long context, with published training data. OpenBMB's own 4-bit builds are under 1.6 GB, and the model loads in vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama and Transformers. The main risks are always-on thinking, no safety results and use conditions beyond Apache 2.0.

## Before you call either

### Arete-27B

1. Start it with `llama-server -hf bartowski/NousResearch_Arete-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, a third party's conversion, or serve the BF16 files with vLLM
2. Use the base's parsers in vLLM, `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, and check tool calls first, since the template differs slightly from Qwen3.8-27B's
3. Thinking switches with `enable_thinking` in the template. The card's own evaluation ran with it off
4. Expect answers on politically sensitive topics to differ from Qwen3.8-27B's. That is what the fine-tune is for
5. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented

### MiniCPM5-2B

1. Smallest start is `ollama run openbmb/minicpm5-2b` (1.6 GB, q4_k_m)
2. On vLLM 0.29.0 or later run `vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B --max-model-len 131072 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser minicpm5`, or tool calls come back as XML text
3. On SGLang 0.5.16 or later add `--tool-call-parser minicpm5 --reasoning-parser qwen3`; SGLang is OpenBMB's recommended backend for tool calls
4. Tool calls are XML, `<function name=...><param name=...>`, not Hermes JSON
5. Sample with temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and min_p 0.0; llama.cpp's default min_p 0.05 can loop, and repetition_penalty 1.05 helps if it does
6. Expect a `<think>` block before every answer and leave room in max_tokens; enable_thinking false is accepted by the template but OpenBMB doesn't support it for the 2B
7. Validate JSON yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented
8. Use the main repository's template; the GGUF, MLX and GPTQ copies predate the 29 September fix
