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**Muse Glimmer 30B.** A dense 30B multimodal cousin for local agent and coding work with images, documented tool calls and adjustable reasoning. Meta's 17 GB GGUF fits a 24 GB card and runs in llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers. The main risks are one tool call per turn, no documented JSON output and a usage policy that adds limits to Apache 2.0.\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### Muse Glimmer 30B\n\n1. Start it with `llama serve -hf meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B-GGUF --hf-file Muse-Glimmer-30B-KQuant-17GB-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -c 131072 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --chat-template-kwargs '{\"reasoning_strength\":\"high\"}'` on llama.cpp b10353 or later, or `ollama run muse-glimmer` on Ollama 0.32.7 or later\n2. In vLLM pass `--tool-call-parser muse_glimmer --reasoning-parser muse_glimmer`, in SGLang `muse` for both, in ExecuTorch `--tool-parser atem`. Without them tool calls come back as plain text\n3. Set reasoning per request with `chat_template_kwargs.reasoning_strength` (low, medium, high or xhigh). llama.cpp and ExecuTorch don't read `reasoning_effort`, and ExecuTorch rejects it with a 400\n4. Expect one tool call per turn and return each result before the next. ExecuTorch's server rejects `tool_choice=\"required\"`\n5. Keep temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 64, don't run greedy, and never stop on `\u003c|eom|\u003e`\n6. Leave max_tokens room for reasoning, since in llama.cpp a request cut off mid-thought returns empty content with finish_reason length\n7. For images add Meta's 1.4 GB mmproj GGUF, which takes the build to about 22 GB with the runtime's fifth\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Inkling-Small or Muse Glimmer 30B?\n\nMuse Glimmer 30B scores 70 (BB) on agent readiness against Inkling-Small's 66.5 (B), and leads in 2 of 5 scored categories.
