Z.ai's smallest build is 328 GB in FP8, so it needs a multi-GPU server. The main risk is that nothing on safety or prompt injection is published and there is no way to report a flaw.\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-5.3-Flash\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash --tensor-parallel-size 4 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser glm47 --reasoning-parser glm47` (vLLM 0.32.0 or later, about 386 GB of GPU memory per vLLM's recipe)\n2. Use the glm47 tool-call and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang; calls come back as tool_call blocks with arg_key and arg_value pairs\n3. Pass `chat_template_kwargs: {\"reasoning_effort\": \"low\"}` for short tasks; anything other than low or high falls back to max\n4. Don't rely on `thinking: false` from SGLang's cookbook, since the template has no such switch and always opens a think block\n5. Set `clear_thinking: true` in chat use, since the default keeps earlier reasoning in the prompt\n6. On a 128 GB machine only third-party low-bit builds come near fitting, none of them from Z.ai\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-5.3-Flash or Recursive Flint?\n\nGLM-5.3-Flash scores 65.1 (B) on agent readiness against Recursive Flint's 61 (C), and leads in 0 of 4 scored categories.
