## Which one, for what

### Cosmos-Reason2-2B (C)

Good for: Agents that need a small local model to reason over camera footage and images for robotics, driving or smart spaces

Ahead on:
- Risk, 60 against 55

Watch for: Gated behind a click-through licence that needs a Hugging Face account

### Granite 4.2 3B (C)

Good for: Agents on small hardware that want a permissive reasoning model for tool calls and coding, with thinking they can switch off

Ahead on:
- Reach, 95 against 65
- Agent interface, 85 against 65
- Documentation and upkeep, 92 against 39

Also in its favour:
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.8 against 2.5 out of 5

Watch for: No safety results published for 4.2, and only general safety cautions

## Verdicts

**Cosmos-Reason2-2B.** A small local cousin for reasoning over video and images in robotics, driving and warehouse scenes, returning points, boxes and timed events as JSON. The 4.9 GB file runs in Transformers or vLLM, though NVIDIA asks for 24 GB of GPU memory. Development has moved to Cosmos 3, and the gated licence is revocable.

**Granite 4.2 3B.** A small reasoning cousin for tool calls, coding and multilingual chat that runs almost anywhere, from a 2.2 GB Ollama build to vLLM and SGLang, under plain Apache 2.0 with signed files and a dataset disclosure. Thinking turns off or shortens per request. It has no published safety results and no documented JSON mode.

## Before you call either

### Cosmos-Reason2-2B

1. Accept the licence on the Hugging Face card with a signed-in account and set HF_TOKEN before downloading
2. Serve it with `vllm serve nvidia/Cosmos-Reason2-2B --max-model-len 16384 --media-io-kwargs '{"video": {"num_frames": -1}}' --reasoning-parser qwen3`, keeping max-model-len between 8,192 and 16,384 as NVIDIA advises
3. For local video or images, make a folder for them (`mkdir -p media`) and pass `--allowed-local-media-path "$(pwd)/media"`, so the server can read only that folder, not everything under the directory you start it from
4. Sample video at 4 fps and allow at least 4,096 output tokens so the reasoning isn't cut off
5. For reasoning, add the card's instruction to answer with a think block and then the answer; leave it out for a direct reply
6. Use NVIDIA's prompt files (prompts/*.yaml in nvidia-cosmos/cosmos-reason2) when you want JSON boxes, events or trajectories, and validate the JSON yourself
7. Check its plans before a robot acts on them, since NVIDIA's own safety card warns of collision and manipulation risks

### Granite 4.2 3B

1. Start it with `ollama run granite4.2:3b`; set options.num_ctx in the request, since Ollama's default context is short and the model takes up to 131,072
2. With vLLM 0.32.0 or later, serve `ibm-granite/granite-4.2-3b` with `--reasoning-parser granite_thinking_parser --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder --enable-auto-tool-choice`; that release has the parser built in, so the card's `--reasoning-parser-plugin ./granite_thinking_parser.py` isn't needed
3. With SGLang 0.5.18 or later, `--reasoning-parser auto --tool-call-parser auto` resolve to IBM's recommended parsers, and the reasoning comes back in reasoning_content
4. Use temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 for every mode, as IBM requires
5. Pass `enable_thinking` false for direct answers or `low_effort` true for short reasoning, through chat_template_kwargs on an OpenAI-compatible server
6. Earlier turns' thinking is stripped by default (`truncate_history_thinking`), so pass it false to keep reasoning in multi-turn history
7. For JSON, use the runtime's guided decoding, since IBM documents no JSON mode for 4.2
8. Verify the files with `python -m model_signing verify sigstore` and IBM's identity, per IBM's signature guide
