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**ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B).** A Qwen3.8-27B with shorter reasoning, for agent work where thinking tokens cost time, and BottleCap's 4-bit GGUF runs in about 19 GB. The main limits are the licence, which needs a paid licence above 100 people or 1,000,000 USD revenue, a gated main repository, and no safety results or training-data description.\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### ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B)\n\n1. Check the licence first, an organisation with 100 or more people or 1,000,000 USD (2019) revenue needs a commercial licence from BottleCap\n2. For files without the gate use `llama-server -hf bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, about 17.4 GB\n3. On vLLM use `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_xml`, and on SGLang `--tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`\n4. Set `reasoning_effort` (xhigh, medium or low) in chat_template_kwargs, any other value makes the template raise an error\n5. Keep the base's sampling (temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, top_k 20), the GGUF card says greedy decoding can loop\n6. The GGUFs carry an MTP head, and llama.cpp builds without MTP support for this architecture may refuse to load them with a missing blk.64 tensor\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LFM2.5-2.6B or ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B)?\n\nThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B) scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against LFM2.5-2.6B's 51.5 (D), and leads in 0 of 4 scored categories. LFM2.5-2.6B leads on reach, risk and agent interface.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lfm2-5-2-6b-vs-thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lfm2-5-2-6b-vs-thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lfm2-5-2-6b\", \"b\": \"thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b\"}`.
