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**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### 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### 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, Ling-3.0-tiny or SmolLM3-3B?\n\nSmolLM3-3B scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against Ling-3.0-tiny's 55 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
