## Which one, for what

### Gemma 4 31B IT (BB)

Good for: An agent with a 24 GB GPU or more that wants a dense multimodal cousin with tool calling under a plain licence

Ahead on:
- Capability, 61 against 21
- Risk, 70 against 55

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better

Watch for: No safety evaluation results published

### 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:
- Documentation and upkeep, 92 against 65

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

## Verdicts

**Gemma 4 31B IT.** A dense multimodal cousin with documented tool calling, optional thinking and a 256K context, for general agent work and image reading on one 24 GB GPU through Google's 4-bit build. It runs in every major runtime under plain Apache 2.0. The main risk is that Google publishes no safety results and has gone quiet on the repository since July.

**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

### Gemma 4 31B IT

1. On the reference machine run `llama-server -hf google/gemma-4-31B-it-qat-q4_0-gguf --hf-file gemma-4-31B_q4_0-it.gguf --jinja -c 32768`, adding gemma-4-31B-it-mmproj.gguf for images
2. Or `ollama run gemma4:31b` for the 20 GB Q4_K_M build
3. In vLLM serve with `--enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser gemma4 --reasoning-parser gemma4`, as vLLM's recipe does
4. Thinking is off by default, so pass `enable_thinking: true` in chat_template_kwargs to turn it on, and expect the reasoning in the thought channel block
5. Drop earlier thoughts from the history except on tool-call turns, as the card asks
6. Use the card's sampling, temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, top_k 64
7. Validate function names and arguments before running a call, and check JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding
8. The w4a16 build relies on Marlin INT4 kernels that vLLM marks unsupported on AMD, so use the GGUF on the reference machine

### 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
