Best open-weight models you download and run yourself for AI agents · All 3341 open weights comparisons
Which one, for what
Best for Agents with about 96 GB of GPU memory, or the 128 GB reference machine, that want an Apache-tagged 33B model for long coding and tool loops and can wait for independent results.
Ahead on
- Risk, 60 against 55
- Agent interface, 85 against 60
- Documentation and upkeep, 56 against 31
Watch for
No independent benchmark result yet; every agentic number on the card is Nanbeige's own run
Best for An agent on a laptop or small edge device that needs a local model to read images, documents and video in about 2 GB
Ahead on
- Reach, 95 against 55
Watch for
No safety evaluation, agent-use guidance or security contact

Verdicts
Nanbeige4.3-33B
A dense 33B Llama-architecture cousin for long agentic coding and office tasks, with per-request thinking, XML tool calls that stock vLLM and SGLang parse, and 512K of context. It needs about 96 GB at BF16, as Nanbeige ships no quantised build. Its agentic results so far are Nanbeige's own, with no safety results, training data notes or licence file.
Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct
The smallest Qwen3-VL cousin, for reading screenshots, documents, charts and video on a laptop or edge box, running in about 2 GB from Alibaba's Q4_K_M GGUF in every major runtime under plain Apache 2.0. Qwen hasn't answered repository questions or published safety work, so keep a human or a check in the loop before it drives a GUI.
Before you call either
Nanbeige4.3-33B
- Serve with
vllm serve Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.3-33B --enable-auto-tool-choice --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder, as the card says, or SGLang with the same two parsers - Keep
tool_call_formatat its defaultxml, since qwen3_coder parses that format; thejsonoption writes Hermes-style JSON calls, which need a different parser such as vLLM's hermes - Pass
chat_template_kwargs{"preserve_thinking": true}for multi-turn tool use and coding, and{"enable_thinking": false}to skip reasoning, as the card recommends - Use temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and up to 65,536 new tokens for agent work, and temperature 0.6 for reasoning and chat, per the card
- Send your own system prompt, since without one the template injects a Chinese identity line, or a Chinese tool-expert prompt when tools are passed
- Send one system message at the start only, as the template raises an error for a later one
- In plain Transformers pass
use_cache=Trueto generate, since config.json and generation_config.json set it false; trust_remote_code isn't needed
Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct
- Start it with
llama-server -hf Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja -c 32768, orollama run qwen3-vl:2b-instruct - In Ollama the plain
qwen3-vl:2btag is the Thinking edition, so name2b-instruct - With the GGUF, load the mmproj vision file too, or images won't be read
- Parse tool calls as JSON inside
<tool_call>tags, or use SGLang's--tool-call-parser qwen - Use the card's sampling,
temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, top_k=20, presence_penalty=1.5for vision andtemperature=1.0, top_p=1.0, top_k=40, presence_penalty=2.0for text - Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented
- vLLM needs 0.11.0 or later and Transformers 4.57.0 or later
