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**Ling-3.0-tiny.** A small, quick hybrid reasoning cousin for local agent work, tool calls and coding, under MIT. It runs in about 6 GB from inclusionAI's 4-bit GGUF in released Transformers, vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp, with no host. The main risks are a card that doesn't match the files in places, the vLLM route running repository code, and no model safety results.\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### Ling-3.0-tiny\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-tiny-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 32768`, which needs llama.cpp b11772 or a recent release with bailingmoe3\n2. With vLLM 0.32.0, `vllm serve inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-tiny --trust-remote-code --enable-prefix-caching --mamba-cache-mode align --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser ling3 --reasoning-parser ling3`, which runs the repository's config code\n3. With SGLang 0.5.22, its cookbook uses `--reasoning-parser deepseek-r1 --tool-call-parser glm45` for this model, and drop the card's NEXTN flags since tiny has no MTP layer\n4. Thinking is on by default, pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks\n5. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 20\n6. The template keeps earlier reasoning in the prompt, which grows long agent sessions\n7. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n8. For a guardrail, inclusionAI's Ling-3.0-tiny-singprobe scores intent, unsafe output and hallucination per token, but only through SGLang and vLLM integration branches\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Inkling-Small or Ling-3.0-tiny?\n\nInkling-Small scores 66.5 (B) on agent readiness against Ling-3.0-tiny's 55 (C), and leads in 4 of 5 scored categories.
