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**SmolLM3-3B.** A tiny, fully open cousin with documented tool calling and switchable thinking, for local subtasks and routing on laptops and CPUs. It needs about 8 GB in BF16, or under 3 GB in Hugging Face's 4-bit ONNX build for ONNX Runtime. The main risks are a 64K native context, no safety results and no repository changes since September 2025.\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### SmolLM3-3B\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser=hermes`, or tool calls come back as text\n2. Pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks, since thinking is on by default; a `/think` or `/no_think` flag in the system prompt overrides the kwarg\n3. Put earlier tool calls in the assistant message content, since the template ignores a `tool_calls` field when it renders history\n4. Add the YaRN `rope_scaling` block (factor 2.0, original 65536) to config.json before sending more than 65,536 tokens\n5. Use temperature 0.6 and top_p 0.95, the card's recommended sampling\n6. Needs Transformers v4.53.0 or later; for llama.cpp use a GGUF from ggml-org or another converter, since Hugging Face publishes none\n7. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LFM2.5-2.6B or SmolLM3-3B?\n\nSmolLM3-3B scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against LFM2.5-2.6B's 51.5 (D), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
