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**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### 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### 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, Muse Glimmer 30B or SmolLM3-3B?\n\nMuse Glimmer 30B scores 70 (BB) on agent readiness against SmolLM3-3B's 61 (C), and leads in 3 of 4 scored categories.
