Z.ai's smallest build is 756 GB in FP8, so it needs an 8-GPU server, Z.ai's API or a provider. The main risks are no published safety work, no way to report a flaw, and thinking that can't be turned off.\n\n**Inkling.** Thinking Machines' large multimodal generalist, stronger than Inkling-Small on factual recall by its own numbers. It needs about 710 GB of datacentre GPU memory even in NVFP4, so most agents will use a host such as Together AI or Tinker. The main risks are a use policy that binds on download and can change, and no outside safety results.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GLM-5.3\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve zai-org/GLM-5.3 --kv-cache-dtype fp8 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --speculative-config.method mtp --speculative-config.num_speculative_tokens 5 --tool-call-parser glm47 --reasoning-parser glm47 --enable-auto-tool-choice --served-model-name glm-5.3` (vLLM 0.28.0 or later, 8xH200 or 8xH20 per vLLM's recipe)\n2. Use the glm47 tool-call and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang; SGLang's cookbook says glm45 leaves the calls as plain text\n3. Pass `chat_template_kwargs: {\"reasoning_effort\": \"low\"}` for short tasks; anything other than low or high falls back to max\n4. Pass `clear_thinking: true` in chat use, since the template keeps earlier reasoning by default\n5. Don't send `enable_thinking: false`; the template ignores it and always opens a think block\n6. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output is documented only for Z.ai's hosted API\n7. No Z.ai build fits a 128 GB machine; the full 1M context needs 8xB200 per vLLM's recipe\n\n### Inkling\n\n1. Unless you have a multi-GPU Blackwell or H200 node, call it through Together AI, Fireworks, DeepInfra or Tinker rather than starting it\n2. On 8 B200 GPUs, SGLang's recipe is `sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path thinkingmachines/Inkling-NVFP4 --tp 8 --quantization modelopt_fp4 --enable-multimodal --reasoning-parser inkling --tool-call-parser inkling`\n3. Use the inkling tool parser, not Hermes, and the inkling reasoning parser\n4. Pass `reasoning_effort` as none, minimal, low, medium, high (the default) or max, or a number from 0 to 0.99. The repository's template has no xhigh preset and raises an error for it, though Thinking Machines' docs list xhigh\n5. Tool call arguments must reach the template as an object, not a JSON string, or it raises an error\n6. Audio should be 16 kHz WAV, ideally under 20 minutes, and images 40 to 4096 px a side, per the card\n7. Read the Model Acceptable Use Policy before deploying, it binds on download and bars some uses that are legal\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GLM-5.3 or Inkling?\n\nGLM-5.3 and Inkling score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 64.6 (B) and 64.2 (B).
