It needs about 205 GB for Thinking Machines' NVFP4 build on recent NVIDIA or AMD datacentre GPUs, and Tinker or DeepInfra host it. The main risks are a use policy that binds on download and can change, and no outside safety results.\n\n**Laguna XS 2.1.** A small coding and agent cousin with 3B active parameters, so it's quick on modest hardware. Poolside's 4-bit GGUF, also Ollama's default, needs about 24 GB, and every major runtime runs it. The main risks are that nobody at Poolside answers its discussions, there are no safety results, and the SGLang route runs repository code.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Inkling-Small\n\n1. Start the NVFP4 build with SGLang's recipe, `sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path thinkingmachines/Inkling-Small-NVFP4 --tp 8 --enable-multimodal --reasoning-parser inkling --tool-call-parser inkling`, on Blackwell for W4A4\n2. Use the inkling tool and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang, or Thinking Machines' tml-renderers package to render prompts and parse calls yourself\n3. 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 and SGLang's cookbook list xhigh\n4. Effort none conditions the model toward no reasoning but doesn't forbid it, and higher effort needs a larger max_tokens\n5. Tool call arguments must reach the template as an object, not a JSON string, or it raises an error\n6. Images should be 40 to 4096 px a side and audio 16 kHz WAV under two minutes, per the card\n7. Use guided decoding or validate JSON yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n8. Read the Model Acceptable Use Policy before deploying, it binds on download and bars some uses that are legal\n\n### Laguna XS 2.1\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run laguna-xs-2.1`, 20 GB of files, the same Q4_K_M as Poolside's GGUF\n2. On our reference machine use `llama-server -hf poolside/Laguna-XS-2.1-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 131072`, from a llama.cpp release with the laguna architecture (b11772 has it), or BF16 with vLLM (66.9 GB)\n3. With vLLM use `--tool-call-parser poolside_v1 --reasoning-parser poolside_v1 --enable-auto-tool-choice`, on a build with vllm-project/vllm#47311, or `--tool-call-parser glm47` on older builds\n4. Thinking is off in the template unless you pass `enable_thinking` true or start the server with `--default-chat-template-kwargs '{\"enable_thinking\": true}'`, which Poolside recommends for agentic coding\n5. Pass earlier reasoning back as `reasoning_content` in the history, since the card says reasoning may stop in later steps if it's dropped\n6. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0 and top_k 20\n7. The card warns that Ollama on Apple Silicon may return empty output until llama.cpp#25389 ships\n8. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Inkling-Small or Laguna XS 2.1?\n\nInkling-Small scores 66.5 (B) on agent readiness against Laguna XS 2.1's 61 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
