Tool-calling format 25, the card and Liquid's tool-use page document tools passed through `tools=` in apply_chat_template, calls returned as XML and results sent back as tool messages. Trained tool calling 20, the template loops over every entry in an assistant turn's tool_calls, so several calls fit in one turn, and the card says the model was trained on tool calls and agentic traces and with reinforcement learning inside agent harnesses. Structured output 15, Liquid's API guide documents `response_format` with a JSON Schema, with lfm3-1.7b as the model in its examples, and says the schema is checked before generation starts. Reasoning control 10, the card documents `enable_thinking=False` in the chat template to turn reasoning off per request, with reasoning on by default inside think tags, and `preserve_thinking` for earlier turns. Context 10, 256K tokens per the card, which says the mid-training stage extended the context window to 256K, and max_position_embeddings 262144 in config.json. 20 + 25 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 10 = 100.\n- MiniCPM5-2B (75): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card and OpenBMB's cookbooks document the XML call format, the tools request and the minicpm5 parser in SGLang and vLLM. Trained tool calling 20, agent SFT on 500K samples and a template that renders several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, nothing documents asking for JSON. Reasoning control 0, a judgement call, because OpenBMB's own cookbooks call Think the only supported mode for the 2B even though the template accepts enable_thinking false. Context 10, 131,072 tokens native with no rope scaling.\n\n### Documentation and upkeep: MiniCPM5-2B +25\n\n- LFM3-1.7B (67): Model card 17, Intended use (local agents, tool calling, structured outputs, fine-tuning), a limitation (not recommended for agentic coding or complex multi-step reasoning), architecture (24 layers: 13 gated short convolutions, 5 sliding-window and 6 global attention), parameters (1.73B), context (256K) and 16 languages. Training data 5, A general description: 22T tokens of pre-training in two stages with the kinds of data added since LFM2, 1.75T tokens of supervised fine-tuning, then mixed reinforcement learning, distillation from six specialist teachers and agentic reinforcement learning. Last change 20, the last commit, on 9 November 2026, added the OpenVINO checkpoint to the card's inference table, a day before this check. Responsiveness 10, Of the 22 discussions that aren't pull requests (27 October to 8 November 2026), 7 have a reply from a LiquidAI member, which is some. Version policy 5, LFM3 came out in new repositories and the LFM2.5 models stay in theirs. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the lfm3 architecture, the 262,144-token context and the thinking switch. 17 + 5 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 10 = 67.\n- MiniCPM5-2B (92): Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off. Training data 20, all eight training datasets are published on Hugging Face and named per stage with sizes. Last change 15, a template fix on 29 September 2026, 36 days ago, with nothing newer in OpenBMB's MiniCPM5 repositories on Hugging Face (builds last changed 12 September) or its GitHub repository (21 September). Responsiveness 20, OpenBMB members answered 16 of the 23 questions in the discussions, the newest reply on 29 September. Version policy 10, earlier models and checkpoints sit in their own repositories and the GitHub changelog dates each release. File health 10, config, tokenizer, template and card agree and no broken-file report waited on 21 October, though OpenBMB's GGUF, MLX and GPTQ repositories still carry the template from before the 29 September fix.\n\n### Risk: MiniCPM5-2B +15\n\n- LFM3-1.7B (40): File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25). Provenance 15, files in the LiquidAI organisation, which Liquid's docs page for the model and its blog post link to (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card or in Liquid's blog post for the LFM3 family, neither of which mentions safety testing. Agent guidance 0, Nothing on prompt injection, an instruction hierarchy, what refusals cover or safeguards to add. Licence risk 10, 15 less 5 for the $10M annual revenue threshold on commercial use. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw found. 15 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 40.\n- MiniCPM5-2B (55): File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, and the documented way to load it runs no code from the repository. Provenance 15, the openbmb organisation linked from OpenBMB's GitHub, with a SHA-256 for every weight file. Safety evaluation 0, nothing published. Agent guidance 5, the card only cautions that prompts can manipulate the model and that users should add their own safeguards. Licence risk 10, 5 off for the card's use limit beyond the law. Security programme 0, no SECURITY.md, no security.txt and no advisories.\n\n### Reach: MiniCPM5-2B +5\n\n- LFM3-1.7B (85): Memory 30, Liquid's Q4_K_M GGUF is 1.10 GB, and 1.10 GB × 1.2 = 1.3 GB, which fits 8 GB, well inside the 16 GB line. Runtimes 15, Released llama.cpp has the lfm3 architecture (src/models/lfm3.cpp at b12242), Ollama's library has an lfm3 entry, and LM Studio's catalogue runs the architecture (its liquid/lfm3-vl-2b entry; lmstudio-community publishes a GGUF of this model). Builds 15, Liquid's GGUF repository holds Q4_0, Q4_K_M, Q8_0, F16 and BF16 files, and Liquid publishes 4-bit and 8-bit MLX builds and an ONNX repository, all in the LiquidAI organisation. Terms 10, the LFM Open License v1.0, a custom licence that lets anyone use it commercially for free below a threshold of $10M annual revenue. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for the model and its GGUF, MLX and ONNX repositories on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 5, Liquid's own API lists lfm3-1.7b among its models, so the publisher hosts it. 30 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 85.\n- MiniCPM5-2B (90): Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added. Runtimes 25, the cap, since the model is a stock Llama and vLLM, SGLang, released Transformers, a released llama.cpp and Ollama all run it. Builds 15, OpenBMB ships GGUF at three precisions plus MLX and GPTQ 4-bit. Terms 10, the LICENSE is plain Apache 2.0 but the card prohibits jailbreaking and injection testing and limits use to ethical purposes, which reads as a use policy on top (dated 21 October 2026). Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, OpenBMB has no API for it, no inference provider is listed on its Hugging Face page and OpenRouter doesn't carry it.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | LFM3-1.7B | MiniCPM5-2B | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Reach | 25% (25 this run) | 85 | 90 | MiniCPM5-2B +5 |\n| Risk | 20% (20 this run) | 40 | 55 | MiniCPM5-2B +15 |\n| Agent interface | 10% (10 this run) | 100 | 75 | LFM3-1.7B +25 |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% (10 this run) | 67 | 92 | MiniCPM5-2B +25 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **61 · C** | **59.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | LFM3-1.7B | MiniCPM5-2B |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Open-weight model | Open-weight model |\n| Vendor | Liquid AI | OpenBMB |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | LFM Open License v1.0 (free commercial use below $10M annual revenue) | Apache-2.0 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-09 | 2026-09-29 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3/5 (4) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### LFM3-1.7B\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### MiniCPM5-2B\n\n- -0.5 on 4 November 2026: time\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**LFM3-1.7B.** A 1.73B model that fits an 8 GB machine with room to spare, with a documented tool-call format, deferred tools, a thinking switch and a 256K context. It runs today in llama.cpp, Ollama and LM Studio only, loads in Transformers through repository code, and has no safety results, security contact or data sources.\n\n**MiniCPM5-2B.** A 2B dense model for local tool calling and long context, with published training data. OpenBMB's own 4-bit builds are under 1.6 GB, and the model loads in vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama and Transformers. The main risks are always-on thinking, no safety results and use conditions beyond Apache 2.0.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LFM3-1.7B\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja` or `ollama run lfm3`\n2. Use temperature 0.1, top_k 50 and repetition penalty 1.1 for chat, tools and agents, per the card\n3. Pass `enable_thinking=False` for direct answers, and expect it to reason anyway on hard tasks\n4. For a large tool catalogue mark tools `defer_loading` and give it a search tool\n5. Don't plan on vLLM or SGLang until a release carries LFM3\n6. Liquid doesn't recommend it for agentic coding or complex multi-step reasoning\n\n### MiniCPM5-2B\n\n1. Smallest start is `ollama run openbmb/minicpm5-2b` (1.6 GB, q4_k_m)\n2. On vLLM 0.29.0 or later run `vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B --max-model-len 131072 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser minicpm5`, or tool calls come back as XML text\n3. On SGLang 0.5.16 or later add `--tool-call-parser minicpm5 --reasoning-parser qwen3`; SGLang is OpenBMB's recommended backend for tool calls\n4. Tool calls are XML, `\u003cfunction name=...\u003e\u003cparam name=...\u003e`, not Hermes JSON\n5. Sample with temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and min_p 0.0; llama.cpp's default min_p 0.05 can loop, and repetition_penalty 1.05 helps if it does\n6. Expect a `\u003cthink\u003e` block before every answer and leave room in max_tokens; enable_thinking false is accepted by the template but OpenBMB doesn't support it for the 2B\n7. Validate JSON yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n8. Use the main repository's template; the GGUF, MLX and GPTQ copies predate the 29 September fix\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LFM3-1.7B or MiniCPM5-2B?\n\nLFM3-1.7B scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against MiniCPM5-2B's 59.7 (C), and leads in 1 of 4 scored categories.
