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### NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB\n\n1. Quickest start is `ollama run nemotron-3.5-bolt:e4b`, about 8 GB of files, and set `num_ctx` to 65536 or less, since NVIDIA supports 64K\n2. With NVIDIA's GGUF use `llama-server -m Nemotron-3.5-Bolt-E4B-Q4_K_M.gguf -c 65536 -ngl 999 --jinja`, and add `--reasoning on --reasoning-budget \u003ctokens\u003e` to cap thinking\n3. With vLLM 0.31.0 or later pass `--enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser gemma4 --reasoning-parser gemma4` and the repository's chat_template.jinja\n4. Pass `enable_thinking` explicitly in `chat_template_kwargs`, since the template defaults to off whatever the card says, and set `skip_special_tokens` false as the card's examples do\n5. Use `temperature=1.0` and `top_p=0.95` in both modes, as the card says\n6. Set `conversational_mode` true for spoken replies, which appends a brevity instruction to the system prompt\n7. Answer a slow tool at once with a pending `tool` message, then send the result later as a user message starting TOOL RESULT, as the card's asynchronous pattern says\n8. Keep persistent rules in the system prompt and send state updates as separate user or system messages in order, per the card's prompting guidelines\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, NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB or SmolLM3-3B?\n\nNVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB and SmolLM3-3B score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 61 (C) and 61 (C).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-bolt-e4b-4gb-vs-smollm3-3b.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-bolt-e4b-4gb-vs-smollm3-3b.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nemotron-3-5-bolt-e4b-4gb\", \"b\": \"smollm3-3b\"}`.
