Liquid's own 4-bit build is 1.6 GB, and every common runtime runs it. It always thinks, isn't meant for coding or knowledge-heavy work, and organisations over $10M of revenue need another licence. There are no safety results or security contact.\n\n**MiniMax-M3.1-Flash.** A 428B mixture-of-experts model, 23B active, for agent work, coding and computer use, with image and video input, about 1M tokens of context and parallel tool calls. It needs a 4 to 8 GPU server for 250 GB of NVFP4 and MXFP8 weights, and vLLM and SGLang support was pre-release on 24 October 2026. Commercial use needs attribution and notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LFM2.5-2.6B\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run LiquidAI/lfm2.5-2.6b`, 1.7 GB, or `llama-cli -hf LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B-GGUF`\n2. With vLLM or SGLang pass `--tool-call-parser lfm2`; for vLLM add `--reasoning-parser qwen3` so the thinking comes back separately\n3. Sample at temperature 0.1, top_k 50 and repetition_penalty 1.1, as the card and generation_config.json set\n4. Put tools in the system prompt as `List of tools: [...]` JSON, or pass tools to apply_chat_template; calls come back as a Python list of function calls, and the system prompt can ask for JSON calls instead\n5. Leave max_tokens unset or generous, since a low cap cuts the reasoning off mid-thought\n6. Earlier thinking is dropped from the prompt unless `preserve_thinking` is true\n7. Liquid's 328M LFM2.5-2.6B-DSpark drafter speeds decoding about 2.6 times in SGLang and on Apple silicon, per Liquid\n8. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n\n### MiniMax-M3.1-Flash\n\n1. Check the use case first; commercial products must show \"Built with MiniMax M3.1-Flash\" and notify MiniMax once, or get written authorisation above $20M yearly revenue\n2. On 8 H100 or H200 GPUs use vLLM's nightly image vllm/vllm-openai:minimax-m31-flash with --tensor-parallel-size 8 --block-size 128 --kv-cache-dtype fp8 --moe-backend marlin --max-model-len 262144\n3. Pass --reasoning-parser minimax_m3 --tool-call-parser minimax_m3 --enable-auto-tool-choice in vLLM, or minimax-m3 for both in SGLang with --trust-remote-code\n4. --block-size 128 is mandatory in vLLM, since MSA's sparse block size is 128\n5. Set effort per request with chat_template_kwargs reasoning_effort (low, medium, high, xhigh, max); sample at temperature 1.0 and top_p 0.95\n6. On Blackwell or MI355X, 4 GPUs serve it with the DSpark draft from dspark/; vLLM's Hopper command leaves DSpark off and turns video input off\n7. For GGUF builds by others, use llama.cpp b11861 or later; earlier builds mis-scale the NVFP4 experts and produce garbage\n8. Without the hardware, call MiniMax-M3.1-Flash on MiniMax's API (minimax-api), whose thinking defaults to max effort\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LFM2.5-2.6B or MiniMax-M3.1-Flash?\n\nLFM2.5-2.6B scores 51.5 (D) on agent readiness against MiniMax-M3.1-Flash's 50.5 (D), and leads in 4 of 5 scored categories.
