The main risks are a use policy that binds on download and can change, and no outside safety results.\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### Inkling\n\n1. Unless you have a multi-GPU Blackwell or H200 node, call it through Together AI, Fireworks, DeepInfra or Tinker rather than starting it\n2. On 8 B200 GPUs, SGLang's recipe is `sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path thinkingmachines/Inkling-NVFP4 --tp 8 --quantization modelopt_fp4 --enable-multimodal --reasoning-parser inkling --tool-call-parser inkling`\n3. Use the inkling tool parser, not Hermes, and the inkling reasoning parser\n4. 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 list xhigh\n5. Tool call arguments must reach the template as an object, not a JSON string, or it raises an error\n6. Audio should be 16 kHz WAV, ideally under 20 minutes, and images 40 to 4096 px a side, per the card\n7. Read the Model Acceptable Use Policy before deploying, it binds on download and bars some uses that are legal\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, Inkling or MiniCPM5-2B?\n\nInkling scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against MiniCPM5-2B's 60.2 (C), and leads in 3 of 5 scored categories.
