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\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### 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 or Muse Glimmer 30B?\n\nMuse Glimmer 30B scores 70 (BB) on agent readiness against Inkling's 64.2 (B), and leads in 2 of 5 scored categories. Inkling leads on capability, agent interface and documentation and upkeep.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inkling-vs-muse-glimmer-30b.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inkling-vs-muse-glimmer-30b.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"inkling\", \"b\": \"muse-glimmer-30b\"}`.
