Its 1,561 GB of files need a multi-node GPU cluster, so most agents will call a hosted copy. The main risks are Moonshot's Python running at load and prompt time, and no answers in its repository.\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### Kimi K3\n\n1. Start it with SGLang on a node of 8 B300s, sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path moonshotai/Kimi-K3 --tp-size 8 --context-length 65536 --mem-fraction-static 0.82 --reasoning-parser kimi_k3 --tool-call-parser kimi_k3 --port 30000\n2. Use the kimi_k3 tool-call and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang, and validate tool-call arguments against the schema, since vLLM's recipe says K3 sometimes emits a format its parser doesn't expect\n3. Pass the whole assistant message back every turn, reasoning_content and tool_calls included, or output becomes unstable\n4. Thinking is always on; set reasoning_effort to low or high when max is too slow\n5. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0, with top-p 0.95 for single-step tasks and 1.0 for agentic ones\n6. Don't hand an ongoing session from another model to K3, and state boundaries in the system prompt, since Moonshot warns it can act on its own when intent is unclear\n7. Without the hardware, call it through Moonshot's API or an inference provider listed on its Hugging Face page\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, Kimi K3 or Ling-3.0-tiny?\n\nKimi K3 scores 62.4 (B) on agent readiness against Ling-3.0-tiny's 55 (C), and leads in 3 of 5 scored categories.
