Which one, for what

InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview D

Best for Agents with 64 GB to spare that want an Apache-licensed image and video reader with optional thinking and can live with a stale preview.

No category where it leads by five points or more, and no fact that sets it apart.

Watch for

No quantised build from OpenGVLab, so about 51 GB at BF16

WeVisOne-VL-2B C

Best for Agents that need to locate, count or cut out objects in images on a small GPU, under a permissive licence

Ahead on

  • Reach, 70 against 65
  • Agent interface, 70 against 45
  • Documentation and upkeep, 48 against 28

Watch for

The pixel decoder ships as a pickle file

WeVisOne-VL-2B 48

Model card 8, Intended use, limitations and the architecture are on the card. Training data 5, A general description in the README of a data engine and over 100 million annotated images, with no sources named and no cut-off.

Responsiveness 0, the one discussion that isn't a pull request (23 October 2026) has no reply from a tencent member, counted on 10 November by author flags and dates with a script, text not read. Version policy 5, A first release.

Reach WeVisOne-VL-2B +5

InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview 65

Memory 15 of 30, the only builds are BF16 at 42.5 GB by the repository's safetensors index, or 51 GB with a fifth added, which fits 64 GB. Runtimes 25, Transformers and vLLM load this repository, and SGLang, llama.cpp and Ollama (through llama.cpp b11963, which Ollama v0.40.14 pins) run the same weights in their GitHub format. Builds 0, OpenGVLab publishes no quantised build. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 with nothing added by the bases. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 0, no provider serves it.

WeVisOne-VL-2B 70

Memory 30, the only build from Tencent is the BF16 safetensors file with its decoder, 4.92 GB, and 4.92 GB × 1.2 = 5.9 GB, within 16 GB. No runtime library has a build. Runtimes 15, the architecture is Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration, which vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23 and Transformers 5.22.2 run from the safetensors file, three at 5 each. Builds 0, Tencent publishes the BF16 weights only. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the card's metadata with the LICENSE file in the repository, and nothing added. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps no inference provider to it. 30 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 70.

Verdicts

InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview

An image and video reader on gpt-oss-20b with an optional thinking mode, a preview untouched for over a year. It needs about 51 GB in BF16, since OpenGVLab publishes no quantised build, and runs in Transformers and vLLM. The main risk is a chat template in the Transformers-format repository that doesn't match its tokenizer, with no safety results.

WeVisOne-VL-2B

A small Apache 2.0 perception model that finds, counts, reads and cuts out what you name in an image, and says None when it isn't there. Boxes and points run in vLLM, SGLang or Transformers. Masks and mattes need Tencent's package and a pickle file. Two weeks old, with no questions answered yet and no safety results.

Before you call either

InternVL3.5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview

  1. Serve with vllm serve OpenGVLab/InternVL3_5-GPT-OSS-20B-A4B-Preview-HF --max-model-len 32768, which is our command; the card gives none for vLLM
  2. Check the rendered prompt before relying on it, since the shipped template's <|im_start|> markers aren't tokens in the gpt-oss tokenizer; the GitHub-format repository's harmony template is the alternative
  3. Use Transformers 4.55.0 or later, as the card requires for this size
  4. For thinking, send the card's thinking system prompt and parse the reasoning out of the <think> tags, with temperature 0.6 and sampling on as the card advises
  5. Keep inputs within 32K tokens, the length it was trained at, whatever the config says

WeVisOne-VL-2B

  1. Use Tencent's package: WeVisOneVL("tencent/WeVisOne-VL-2B", backend="vllm") then model.predict(image, task=..., query=...)
  2. Tasks are detection, referring, point, count_box, count_point, ocr, ocr_grounding, segmentation and matting
  3. A None answer means the target isn't in the image. Treat it as a result, not an error
  4. mask_decoder.pt is a pickle. Load it only from the tencent repository, and check its SHA-256 against the Hub's
  5. Send one image a turn. Video grids are rejected by the decoder
  6. The card says it isn't for identifying individuals or for high-impact decisions on its own
