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**Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B.** A fast hybrid Mamba-Transformer cousin with 3.5B active parameters for reasoning and tool calling over very long inputs, in every major local runtime. A 4-bit build needs about 22 to 23 GB. The main risks are that NVIDIA's documented vLLM path runs repository code, no safety results are published and NVIDIA hasn't answered reports since March.\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### Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B\n\n1. Start it with `ollama run nemotron-3-nano:30b` (18 GB MLX on a Mac, 24 GB q4_K_M elsewhere)\n2. On the reference machine use BF16 with vLLM, after `wget https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16/resolve/main/nano_v3_reasoning_parser.py`, then `vllm serve nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 --max-model-len 262144 --trust-remote-code --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder --reasoning-parser-plugin nano_v3_reasoning_parser.py --reasoning-parser nano_v3`\n3. NVFP4 needs an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, and FP8 isn't documented on gfx1151\n4. Without the qwen3_coder tool parser and the nano_v3 reasoning parser, tool calls and reasoning come back as plain text\n5. Card sampling is temperature 0.6 and top_p 0.95 for tool calling, temperature 1.0 and top_p 1.0 for reasoning\n6. Thinking is on by default, so pass enable_thinking as false in chat_template_kwargs for short tasks\n7. Set VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 and raise --max-model-len only when you need more than 262,144 tokens\n8. In SGLang the main branch names the reasoning parser nemotron_3, not the card's nano_v3\n9. Filter untrusted tool results before they reach the model, as NVIDIA warns prompt injection can lead to code execution\n10. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since none is documented for the model\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LFM2.5-2.6B or Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B?\n\nNemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B scores 67.1 (B) on agent readiness against LFM2.5-2.6B's 51.5 (D), and leads in 4 of 5 scored categories.
