Cola2 vs Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct

Cola2 20

Chat template 20, A chat template in tokenizer_config.json (4,116 characters), which came with the Qwen3 tokenizer. Tool-calling format 0, none. Trained tool calling 0, not trained for tool calling. Structured output 0, Nothing about JSON or schema-constrained output. Reasoning control 0, no reasoning mode. Context 0, no context length is stated. 20 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 20.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 60

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, the cookbook shows how tools are declared and calls come back and the card covers audio, image and video input and speech output, but no parser is named. Trained tool calling 20, two calls in one turn from speech in the cookbook. Structured output 5, speech in a chosen voice and text-only output are documented, with no JSON. Reasoning control 0, no thinking in this edition. Context 5, 65,536 tokens in the config and trained at 32,768.

Model card 8, Intended use and limitations (the out-of-scope list, and the unconverged latent model) and the architecture are on the card and the GitHub model card it links. Training data 15, the GitHub model card names the source (OLMo 2 pretraining text, retokenised) and the mix by stage with token counts, 346.03B in all. Last change 20, All six commits are from 6 November 2026, four days before this check, the last one updating a checksum in the README. Responsiveness 0, no discussions on the repository, so nobody has asked anything yet and the line reads as none answered, as settled in calibration. Version policy 5, A first release. File health 10, Config, files and card agree: F32 weights, a float32 config and a card that says to load them as bfloat16, with SHA256SUMS to check the download. 8 + 15 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 58.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 26

Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and languages are there, limitations, context and a cut-off aren't. Training data 5, the report's description has no cut-off. Last change 0, nothing that runs the model has changed for over a year. Responsiveness 0, Qwen answered none of the 40 most recent discussions. Version policy 5, Qwen2.5-Omni kept without notes. File health 5, contradictory licence and language metadata and an unanswered report about long audio.

Memory 15, the only build is the F32 safetensors set, 35.07 GB, and 35.07 GB × 1.2 = 42.1 GB, within 64 GB. Loaded as BF16, as the card's example does, it needs about half, but the line reads the file size. Runtimes 0, none of the six runs it in a released version. Builds 0, one set of weights and no quantised build. Terms 0, no licence for the weights. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps no inference provider to it, and nothing names an API that serves it. 15 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 25.

Memory earns 10, because the only build is the 70.5 GB BF16 checkpoint, about 85 GB with a fifth added, which fits only the reference machine's band. Runtimes earn 20. Transformers runs the whole model, and released vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp run its Thinker with text out, while Ollama and LM Studio have nothing. Builds score 0, with no FP8, 4-bit or GGUF build from Alibaba. Apache 2.0 with nothing added gives terms the full 15 and the ungated repository gives download the full 10. Hosted too scores 0, since no provider serves this checkpoint and Alibaba's API serves a different Flash model.

File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25). Provenance 15, the files sit in the ByteDance-Seed organisation, which the ByteDance-Seed GitHub repository for the model links to (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results. Agent guidance 5, General cautions in the GitHub model card: not instruction-tuned or safety-aligned, not for use as an assistant, for facts or advice, or for high-impact decisions about people. Licence risk 0, With no licence for the weights there is nothing to hold ByteDance to. Security programme 5, the GitHub repository's SECURITY.md sends reports to ByteDance's security centre and says how they're assessed (5). 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 5 = 40.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55

File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, so the cookbook's trust_remote_code flag runs nothing. Provenance 15, files in the Qwen organisation with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0 and agent guidance 0, nothing published, though spoken input can trigger tool calls. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0. Security programme 0, no security contact, disclosure policy or advisories for Qwen.
