It needs about 135 GB for Z.ai's FP8 build, two to four H100s by Z.ai's figures, and Z.ai and Novita host it. The main risk is age, with files from August 2025 and no answers from Z.ai since.\n\n**Recursive Flint.** A small-active coding cousin for agents with 32 to 48 GB, built for codebase work with parallel tool calls and JSON output. It needs llama.cpp b11803 or Ollama 0.40.8 or later, and the BF16 checkpoint needs a 141 GB GPU. Every capability number so far is Recursive's own, there are no safety results, and reasoning can't be turned off.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GLM-4.5-Air\n\n1. Z.ai's FP8 recipe is `python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air-FP8 --tp-size 4 --tool-call-parser glm45 --reasoning-parser glm45`, and 2 H100s are enough below the full 128K context\n2. Use the glm45 tool and reasoning parsers for this model, the glm47 parser in Z.ai's current README is for GLM-4.7\n3. Thinking is on by default, pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, which makes the template add /nothink and an empty think block\n4. Declare tools in OpenAI style, and the template renders arguments as arg_key and arg_value pairs that the parser turns back into JSON\n5. Keep prompts under 128,000 tokens, the tokenizer config's limit, though config.json allows 131,072\n6. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented for the weights\n\n### Recursive Flint\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run flint` (Ollama 0.40.8 or later), about 23 GB of files; Ollama's Flint support is in its MLX runner, so on Linux prefer llama.cpp\n2. With llama.cpp use release b11803 or later: `llama-server -hf RecursiveSI/flint-int4-gguf --alias flint -ngl all -c 131072 -np 1 -fa on --jinja --temp 1 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0`, and keep --jinja on\n3. Set max_tokens to at least 32768 for hard tasks, reasoning counts against it and can't be switched off, and finish_reason length can mean no answer or tool call came out\n4. Send reasoning_content back on assistant messages when replaying the conversation, as Recursive's cards ask\n5. Strip \u003ctool_call\u003e, \u003ctool_response\u003e, \u003carg_key\u003e and \u003carg_value\u003e from untrusted tool output, the template doesn't escape them and a copied \u003c/tool_call\u003e can add a call\n6. Message content must be a string, flatten content-part arrays first\n7. Recursive's SGLang servers listen on 0.0.0.0 with no key, publish the port on localhost only or pass --api-key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GLM-4.5-Air or Recursive Flint?\n\nRecursive Flint scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against GLM-4.5-Air's 59.1 (C), and leads in 3 of 4 scored categories.
