## Which one, for what

### Granite 4.2 3B (C)

Good for: Agents on small hardware that want a permissive reasoning model for tool calls and coding, with thinking they can switch off

Ahead on:
- Reach, 95 against 50
- Agent interface, 85 against 65
- Documentation and upkeep, 92 against 41

Also in its favour:
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.8 against 2.3 out of 5

Watch for: No safety results published for 4.2, and only general safety cautions

### Kimi K3 (B)

Good for: Teams with a multi-node GPU cluster who want an open 1M-context agent model for long coding and research work

Ahead on:
- Capability, 75 against 21
- Risk, 65 against 55

Watch for: 1,561 GB of files at its smallest publisher build, far beyond any single machine

## Verdicts

**Granite 4.2 3B.** A small reasoning cousin for tool calls, coding and multilingual chat that runs almost anywhere, from a 2.2 GB Ollama build to vLLM and SGLang, under plain Apache 2.0 with signed files and a dataset disclosure. Thinking turns off or shortens per request. It has no published safety results and no documented JSON mode.

**Kimi K3.** Kimi K3 is a 2.8T multimodal agent model with a 1M-token context, parallel tool calls and per-request effort, for long coding and research sessions. Its 1,561 GB of files need a multi-node GPU cluster, so most agents will call a hosted copy. The main risks are Moonshot's Python running at load and prompt time, and no answers in its repository.

## Before you call either

### Granite 4.2 3B

1. Start it with `ollama run granite4.2:3b`; set options.num_ctx in the request, since Ollama's default context is short and the model takes up to 131,072
2. With vLLM 0.32.0 or later, serve `ibm-granite/granite-4.2-3b` with `--reasoning-parser granite_thinking_parser --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder --enable-auto-tool-choice`; that release has the parser built in, so the card's `--reasoning-parser-plugin ./granite_thinking_parser.py` isn't needed
3. With SGLang 0.5.18 or later, `--reasoning-parser auto --tool-call-parser auto` resolve to IBM's recommended parsers, and the reasoning comes back in reasoning_content
4. Use temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 for every mode, as IBM requires
5. Pass `enable_thinking` false for direct answers or `low_effort` true for short reasoning, through chat_template_kwargs on an OpenAI-compatible server
6. Earlier turns' thinking is stripped by default (`truncate_history_thinking`), so pass it false to keep reasoning in multi-turn history
7. For JSON, use the runtime's guided decoding, since IBM documents no JSON mode for 4.2
8. Verify the files with `python -m model_signing verify sigstore` and IBM's identity, per IBM's signature guide

### Kimi K3

1. Start it with SGLang on a node of 8 B300s, sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path moonshotai/Kimi-K3 --tp-size 8 --context-length 65536 --mem-fraction-static 0.82 --reasoning-parser kimi_k3 --tool-call-parser kimi_k3 --port 30000
2. Use the kimi_k3 tool-call and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang, and validate tool-call arguments against the schema, since vLLM's recipe says K3 sometimes emits a format its parser doesn't expect
3. Pass the whole assistant message back every turn, reasoning_content and tool_calls included, or output becomes unstable
4. Thinking is always on; set reasoning_effort to low or high when max is too slow
5. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0, with top-p 0.95 for single-step tasks and 1.0 for agentic ones
6. Don't hand an ongoing session from another model to K3, and state boundaries in the system prompt, since Moonshot warns it can act on its own when intent is unclear
7. Without the hardware, call it through Moonshot's API or an inference provider listed on its Hugging Face page
