It needs about 17 GB with a working context, and five inference providers serve it. The main risks are that it trails o4-mini at keeping system instructions above user ones, and OpenAI hasn't answered a report since August 2025.\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### gpt-oss-20b\n\n1. Start it with `ollama run gpt-oss:20b` (the build that fits the reference machine), or `vllm serve openai/gpt-oss-20b` with a current vLLM release rather than the card's pinned vllm==0.10.1+gptoss wheel\n2. Use the harmony format through the chat template or openai-harmony; OpenAI says the model doesn't work correctly without it\n3. Parse tool calls and reasoning with openai-harmony; calls come on the commentary channel ending in `\u003c|call|\u003e`, reasoning on the analysis channel\n4. Set effort with `Reasoning: high` (or low, medium) in the system message, or `reasoning_effort` in the template; medium is the default\n5. Ask for JSON by putting a JSON Schema under `# Response Formats` in the developer message\n6. Drop earlier reasoning after a final answer but pass it back after tool calls, and don't show the analysis channel to users\n7. Expect one tool call per turn; run several in sequence rather than in parallel\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, gpt-oss-20b or SmolLM3-3B?\n\ngpt-oss-20b scores 69.9 (B) on agent readiness against SmolLM3-3B's 61 (C), and leads in 3 of 4 scored categories.
