Thinking turns off or shortens per request. It has no published safety results and no documented JSON mode.\n\n**MiniCPM5-2B.** A tiny dense cousin for local tool calling and long context, with published training data and an active publisher. OpenBMB's own 4-bit builds need about 2 GB, so it runs on a laptop or phone in vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama or Transformers. The main risks are always-on thinking, no safety results and use conditions beyond Apache 2.0.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Granite 4.2 3B\n\n1. 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\n2. 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\n3. 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\n4. Use temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95 for every mode, as IBM requires\n5. Pass `enable_thinking` false for direct answers or `low_effort` true for short reasoning, through chat_template_kwargs on an OpenAI-compatible server\n6. Earlier turns' thinking is stripped by default (`truncate_history_thinking`), so pass it false to keep reasoning in multi-turn history\n7. For JSON, use the runtime's guided decoding, since IBM documents no JSON mode for 4.2\n8. Verify the files with `python -m model_signing verify sigstore` and IBM's identity, per IBM's signature guide\n\n### MiniCPM5-2B\n\n1. Smallest start is `ollama run openbmb/minicpm5-2b` (1.6 GB, q4_k_m)\n2. On vLLM 0.29.0 or later run `vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B --max-model-len 131072 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser minicpm5`, or tool calls come back as XML text\n3. On SGLang 0.5.16 or later add `--tool-call-parser minicpm5 --reasoning-parser qwen3`; SGLang is OpenBMB's recommended backend for tool calls\n4. Tool calls are XML, `\u003cfunction name=...\u003e\u003cparam name=...\u003e`, not Hermes JSON\n5. Sample with temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and min_p 0.0; llama.cpp's default min_p 0.05 can loop, and repetition_penalty 1.05 helps if it does\n6. Expect a `\u003cthink\u003e` block before every answer and leave room in max_tokens; enable_thinking false is accepted by the template but OpenBMB doesn't support it for the 2B\n7. Validate JSON yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n8. Use the main repository's template; the GGUF, MLX and GPTQ copies predate the 29 September fix\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Granite 4.2 3B or MiniCPM5-2B?\n\nMiniCPM5-2B and Granite 4.2 3B score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 60.2 (C) and 59.8 (C).
