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.\n\n**SmolLM3-3B.** A tiny, fully open cousin with documented tool calling and switchable thinking, for local subtasks and routing on laptops and CPUs. It needs about 8 GB in BF16, or under 3 GB in Hugging Face's 4-bit ONNX build for ONNX Runtime. The main risks are a 64K native context, no safety results and no repository changes since September 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemma 4 31B IT\n\n1. 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\n2. Or `ollama run gemma4:31b` for the 20 GB Q4_K_M build\n3. In vLLM serve with `--enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser gemma4 --reasoning-parser gemma4`, as vLLM's recipe does\n4. 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\n5. Drop earlier thoughts from the history except on tool-call turns, as the card asks\n6. Use the card's sampling, temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, top_k 64\n7. Validate function names and arguments before running a call, and check JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding\n8. The w4a16 build relies on Marlin INT4 kernels that vLLM marks unsupported on AMD, so use the GGUF on the reference machine\n\n### SmolLM3-3B\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser=hermes`, or tool calls come back as text\n2. Pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, since thinking is on by default; a `/think` or `/no_think` flag in the system prompt overrides the kwarg\n3. Put earlier tool calls in the assistant message content, since the template ignores a `tool_calls` field when it renders history\n4. Add the YaRN `rope_scaling` block (factor 2.0, original 65536) to config.json before sending more than 65,536 tokens\n5. Use temperature 0.6 and top_p 0.95, the card's recommended sampling\n6. Needs Transformers v4.53.0 or later; for llama.cpp use a GGUF from ggml-org or another converter, since Hugging Face publishes none\n7. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemma 4 31B IT or SmolLM3-3B?\n\nGemma 4 31B IT scores 74.1 (BB) on agent readiness against SmolLM3-3B's 61 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemma-4-31b-it-vs-smollm3-3b.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemma-4-31b-it-vs-smollm3-3b.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gemma-4-31b-it\", \"b\": \"smollm3-3b\"}`.
