It runs in about 6 GB from inclusionAI's 4-bit GGUF in released Transformers, vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp, with no host. The main risks are a card that doesn't match the files in places, the vLLM route running repository code, and no model safety results.\n\n**MiniMax-M2.5.** MiniMax-M2.5 is a 230B mixture-of-experts model for coding and agent work, with parallel tool calls, a 196K context and parsers in vLLM and SGLang. It needs a 4-GPU server for FP8 or about 155 GB for a 4-bit build. The main risk is a licence replaced after release with a Prohibited Uses Policy while the card still says modified MIT.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Ling-3.0-tiny\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-tiny-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 32768`, which needs llama.cpp b11772 or a recent release with bailingmoe3\n2. With vLLM 0.32.0, `vllm serve inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-tiny --trust-remote-code --enable-prefix-caching --mamba-cache-mode align --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser ling3 --reasoning-parser ling3`, which runs the repository's config code\n3. With SGLang 0.5.22, its cookbook uses `--reasoning-parser deepseek-r1 --tool-call-parser glm45` for this model, and drop the card's NEXTN flags since tiny has no MTP layer\n4. Thinking is on by default, pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks\n5. Sampling per the card is temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 20\n6. The template keeps earlier reasoning in the prompt, which grows long agent sessions\n7. Validate JSON output yourself or use the runtime's guided decoding, since structured output isn't documented\n8. For a guardrail, inclusionAI's Ling-3.0-tiny-singprobe scores intent, unsafe output and hallucination per token, but only through SGLang and vLLM integration branches\n\n### MiniMax-M2.5\n\n1. Start it with vLLM on 4 GPUs of 96 GB, SAFETENSORS_FAST_GPU=1 vllm serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 --trust-remote-code --tensor-parallel-size 4 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser minimax_m2 --reasoning-parser minimax_m2_append_think\n2. In SGLang use --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 and --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think, with --trust-remote-code\n3. MiniMax's guides budget 220 GB for the weights and 240 GB per 1M tokens of KV cache\n4. On a single large-memory machine, LM Studio's catalogue entry minimax/minimax-m2.5 lists a Q4_K_M GGUF of 138 GB and an MLX 4-bit of 129 GB (Mac only), and LM Studio states 121 GB minimum memory\n5. Sample with temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 40, as the card recommends\n6. Budget output tokens for thinking on every turn, since the template always opens a think block\n7. Read LICENSE-MODEL, not the card's licence link, before shipping, and keep the required Notice text in every copy\n8. Without the hardware, call it through Novita or Featherless AI; MiniMax's own API retires M2.5 on 18 November 2026\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Ling-3.0-tiny or MiniMax-M2.5?\n\nMiniMax-M2.5 scores 57.5 (C) on agent readiness against Ling-3.0-tiny's 55 (C), and leads in 2 of 5 scored categories.
