## Which one, for what

### Carbon-X (C)

Good for: Agents that need a second opinion on DNA variants and regulatory regions on a 16 to 24 GB machine, without sending sequences to a hosted model.

Ahead on:
- Risk, 65 against 55
- Documentation and upkeep, 77 against 31

Watch for: Not clinically validated and no wet-lab validation reported

### Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct (C)

Good for: An agent with 8 GB or more to spare that needs a local model to read images, documents and video

Ahead on:
- Reach, 100 against 90
- Agent interface, 60 against 35

Watch for: No safety evaluation, agent-use guidance or security contact

## Verdicts

**Carbon-X.** A DNA specialist cousin that another agent calls for variant-effect and sequence questions, with DNA kept on the machine. Hugging Face's Q4_K_M GGUF needs about 12 GB and Q8_0 about 19 GB, on llama.cpp b11742 or later. It isn't clinically validated, it isn't trained for tool calls or reasoning, and the card contradicts its own GGUF repository on llama.cpp support.

**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.

## Before you call either

### Carbon-X

1. Quickest start is `llama-server -hf HuggingFaceBio/Carbon-X-GGUF:Q8_0 -ngl 99 -c 40960 --jinja --chat-template-kwargs '{"enable_thinking": false}' --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0`, on llama.cpp b11742 or later
2. With vLLM or Transformers pass trust_remote_code, and expect the tokenizer to fetch Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Base at a pinned revision on first load
3. Keep enable_thinking false and the card's sampling (temperature 0.6, top_p 0.95, top_k 20), the settings every reported result used
4. Keep DNA in files and pass sequences by name, compute positions and base changes in code and send them as context, the card says the model miscounts long sequences
5. Only A, C, G and T form 6-mers, so filter N and other IUPAC codes first or they become a single oov token
6. Strip the dna tags from answers if you need bare sequence, llama.cpp keeps them in the text
7. Cap max_tokens for next-base questions, long DNA generation is slow and degrades

### Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct

1. 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`
2. In Ollama the plain `qwen3-vl:8b` tag is the Thinking edition, so name `8b-instruct`
3. With the GGUF, load the mmproj vision file too, or images won't be read
4. Parse tool calls as JSON inside `<tool_call>` tags, or use SGLang's `--tool-call-parser qwen`
5. 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
6. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented
7. vLLM needs 0.11.0 or later and Transformers 4.57.0 or later
