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**Muse Glimmer 30B.** A dense 30B multimodal cousin for local agent and coding work with images, documented tool calls and adjustable reasoning. Meta's 17 GB GGUF fits a 24 GB card and runs in llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers. The main risks are one tool call per turn, no documented JSON output and a usage policy that adds limits to Apache 2.0.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Muse Glimmer 30B\n\n1. Start it with `llama serve -hf meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B-GGUF --hf-file Muse-Glimmer-30B-KQuant-17GB-Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -c 131072 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --chat-template-kwargs '{\"reasoning_strength\":\"high\"}'` on llama.cpp b10353 or later, or `ollama run muse-glimmer` on Ollama 0.32.7 or later\n2. In vLLM pass `--tool-call-parser muse_glimmer --reasoning-parser muse_glimmer`, in SGLang `muse` for both, in ExecuTorch `--tool-parser atem`. Without them tool calls come back as plain text\n3. Set reasoning per request with `chat_template_kwargs.reasoning_strength` (low, medium, high or xhigh). llama.cpp and ExecuTorch don't read `reasoning_effort`, and ExecuTorch rejects it with a 400\n4. Expect one tool call per turn and return each result before the next. ExecuTorch's server rejects `tool_choice=\"required\"`\n5. Keep temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 64, don't run greedy, and never stop on `\u003c|eom|\u003e`\n6. Leave max_tokens room for reasoning, since in llama.cpp a request cut off mid-thought returns empty content with finish_reason length\n7. For images add Meta's 1.4 GB mmproj GGUF, which takes the build to about 22 GB with the runtime's fifth\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MiniMax-M2.5 or Muse Glimmer 30B?\n\nMuse Glimmer 30B scores 70 (BB) on agent readiness against MiniMax-M2.5's 57.5 (C), and leads in 3 of 5 scored categories.
