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**Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct.** A small vision-language cousin for reading screenshots, documents, charts and video, running in about 3.5 GB from Alibaba's Q4_K_M GGUF in every major runtime under plain Apache 2.0. It has no thinking mode, and Qwen hasn't answered repository questions or published safety work, so add your own guardrails before letting it drive a GUI.\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### Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 32768`, or `ollama run qwen3-vl:4b-instruct`\n2. In Ollama the plain `qwen3-vl:4b` tag is the Thinking edition, so name `4b-instruct`\n3. With the GGUF, load the mmproj vision file too, or images won't be read\n4. Parse tool calls as JSON inside `\u003ctool_call\u003e` tags, or use SGLang's `--tool-call-parser qwen`\n5. Use the card's sampling, `temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, top_k=20, presence_penalty=1.5` for vision and `temperature=1.0, top_p=1.0, top_k=40, presence_penalty=2.0` for text\n6. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n7. vLLM needs 0.11.0 or later and Transformers 4.57.0 or later\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MiniMax-M2.5 or Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct?\n\nMiniMax-M2.5 scores 57.5 (C) on agent readiness against Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct's 52.6 (D), and leads in 2 of 5 scored categories.
