OpenBMB's own 4-bit builds need about 2 GB, so it runs on a laptop or phone in vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama or Transformers. The main risks are always-on thinking, no safety results and use conditions beyond Apache 2.0.\n\n**Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B.** A small agent cousin, 3B active parameters, with trained parallel tool calls, a thinking switch and up to 1M tokens of context, under a permissive licence. It runs in about 23 GB from the GGUF or Ollama builds, and NVIDIA's NVFP4 build needs NVIDIA GPUs. The main risks are no published safety results and one answered question across two repositories.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run nemotron-3.5-lightning`, about 19 to 25 GB of files depending on the platform\n2. On the reference machine use `llama-server -hf ggml-org/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-GGUF:Q4_0 --jinja`, since the card's Q4_K_M tag doesn't exist there and NVFP4 needs NVIDIA GPUs\n3. With vLLM serve it with `--reasoning-parser nemotron_v3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder` (SGLang uses `--reasoning-parser nemotron_3`)\n4. Use `temperature=1.0` and `top_p=0.95`, as the card says\n5. Thinking is on by default. Pass `chat_template_kwargs` with `enable_thinking` false for short tasks\n6. For coding agents pass `force_nonempty_content: true` in `chat_template_kwargs`, which vLLM's nemotron_v3 parser reads so a cut-off reasoning trace still returns content\n7. Go past 262,144 tokens only with the card's flags (`VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1`, `--max-model-len 1048576`) and enough memory\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MiniCPM5-2B or Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B?\n\nNemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against MiniCPM5-2B's 60.2 (C), and leads in 3 of 5 scored categories.
