Which one, for what
Best for Agents with an external memory framework that want a local model for the write path on a 24 GB card
Ahead on
- Risk, 60 against 40
- Agent interface, 65 against 35
Watch for
Not a general assistant or a tool caller
Best for Agents that need a local model to see, hear and speak on a laptop or a single small GPU, with a plain licence.
Ahead on
- Reach, 90 against 85
Watch for
Speech output and full duplex need trust_remote_code with Transformers 4.51.0 or OpenBMB's llama.cpp-omni
Why the edge
Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.
Agent interface Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +30
Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 65
Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, the card doesn't mention tools. Trained tool calling 10, the template can render tool calls, but the card presents the model as a memory writer that returns memories as text or JSON and says nothing of calling tools. Structured output 5, the card's quickstart asks for a JSON object with a memories list in the system prompt and shows nothing else, no response_format and no schema, so JSON output is shown by example without a documented way to constrain it. Reasoning control 10, the card passes reasoning_effort as no_think per request through chat_template_kwargs, and the template takes high, low or no_think. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native (max_position_embeddings in config.json). 20 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 10 + 10 = 65.
MiniCPM-o 4.5 35
Chat template 20, a Jinja template in the tokenizer config. Tool-calling format 10 of 25, only the inherited Qwen3 template says how tools work. Trained tool calling 0, OpenBMB never mentions tool use. Structured output 0, not documented. Reasoning control 0, thinking turns on and off per request but nobody says where the reasoning comes back. Context 5, 40,960 tokens. Read as an omni model, it takes images, video and audio and returns text and streaming speech, which the card documents with code.
Risk Hy-Memory-30B-A3B +20
Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 60
File safety 25, 51 safetensors shards and no pickle or Python files. Provenance 15, files in the tencent organisation that the card's own resource list links to (10), with a SHA-256 listed for all 53 large files (5). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 0, no prompt-injection guidance, instruction hierarchy, account of trained refusals or general cautions on the card. Licence risk 15, Apache 2.0 with no use policy, no field-of-use limit, no threshold and no clause letting Tencent change the terms. Security programme 5, Tencent's Security Response Center takes vulnerability reports company-wide with published reward rules, as the Hy3 listing records (5). 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 5 = 60.
MiniCPM-o 4.5 40
File safety 5 of 25, two pickle files sit in the speech stage and the documented load runs repository code. Provenance 15, the files are in the openbmb organisation OpenBMB's GitHub links, with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0, none published. Agent guidance 5, general cautions only, nothing about voice cloning misuse, prompt injection or refusals. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0. Security programme 0, no security.txt, policy or advisories.
Reach MiniCPM-o 4.5 +5
Hy-Memory-30B-A3B 85
Memory 25, Tencent's own Q4_K_M GGUF is 18.24 GB, and 18.24 GB × 1.2 = 21.9 GB, which fits 24 GB but not 16 GB. Its Q3_K_M file and the two files with experts at 1 or 2 bits are below 4-bit precision and don't count. Runtimes 20, hy_v3 model code in released vLLM (HYV3ForCausalLM in the v0.33.0 registry), SGLang v0.5.23 (hunyuan_v3.py), Transformers v5.22.2 and llama.cpp b12242, 5 each. Builds 15, Tencent publishes an FP8 repository and a GGUF repository with Q4_K_M, Q6_K and Q8_0 files in its own organisation, so quantised builds at two precisions or more. Terms 15, Apache 2.0, with only a preamble naming Tencent as copyright holder above the licence text. Download 10, gated is false for the main, FP8 and GGUF repositories on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account or terms to accept. Hosted 0, Hugging Face lists no inference provider for the model (an empty provider mapping on 10 November 2026), and the card names no API. 25 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 85.
MiniCPM-o 4.5 90
Memory 30, OpenBMB's 4-bit GGUF with its vision file is 5.9 GB, about 7 GB with a fifth added. Runtimes 15 of 25, released vLLM, llama.cpp and Ollama run it, while Transformers 5.22.1 still needs OpenBMB's remote code and SGLang 0.5.23 supports only the older 2.6. Builds 15, GGUF at several precisions plus AWQ and GPTQ. Terms 15, plain Apache 2.0. Download 10, nothing gated. Hosted 5, OpenBMB's own API serves it.

Verdicts
Hy-Memory-30B-A3B
A specialist that writes an agent's long-term memory, built to slot into Mem0, MemOS or Tencent's own framework in place of a general model. It fits a 24 GB card from Tencent's own GGUF, under plain Apache 2.0, and Tencent answers on the repository. Its results are Tencent's own and nobody has rerun them.
MiniCPM-o 4.5
A small omni cousin that sees, listens and talks back, with full-duplex speech and voice cloning, in about 7 GB at 4-bit through llama.cpp or Ollama for text and images. Speech output needs OpenBMB's remote code or llama.cpp-omni, and 28 GB of GPU for the full demo. The main risks are repository code and pickle files and no safety results.
Before you call either
Hy-Memory-30B-A3B
- Use it as the writer model in Mem0, MemOS or Hy-Memory, not as the model that answers the user
- Start it with
llama-server -hf tencent/Hy-Memory-30B-A3B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja, or with vLLM under the served name hy-memory as the card does - Pass
reasoning_effortas no_think inchat_template_kwargsand temperature 0, as the card's example does - Ask for a JSON object in the system prompt and validate it yourself, since no schema constraint is documented
- Treat what it stores as unverified. It keeps what a conversation says, true or not
MiniCPM-o 4.5
- Quickest start for text and images is
ollama run openbmb/minicpm-o4.5, about 6 GB - With vLLM 0.16.0 or later pass
--trust-remote-code, and sendstop_token_ids[151643, 151645] as OpenBMB's guide does - vLLM, llama.cpp and Ollama return text only; for speech out use the card's Transformers 4.51.0 code or OpenBMB's llama.cpp-omni
- In llama.cpp pass both the language GGUF and MiniCPM-o-4_5-vision-F16.gguf with
--mmproj, and use--jinja --reasoning-budget 0to turn thinking off - Keep prompts within 40,960 tokens
- Don't rely on tool calls or JSON output, neither is documented; validate any you get
