Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct vs Step 3.7 Flash

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 60

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, the cookbook shows how tools are declared and calls come back and the card covers audio, image and video input and speech output, but no parser is named. Trained tool calling 20, two calls in one turn from speech in the cookbook. Structured output 5, speech in a chosen voice and text-only output are documented, with no JSON. Reasoning control 0, no thinking in this edition. Context 5, 65,536 tokens in the config and trained at 32,768.

Step 3.7 Flash 85

Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,723 characters). Tool-calling format 25, the card names the parser to use in two runtimes, step3p5 in vLLM (with auto tool choice) and in SGLang, and both ship Step parsers in a release. Trained tool calling 20, the card presents tool orchestration as a main use, with multi-turn results, and the template renders every call in a turn. Structured output 0, Nothing on the card about JSON or schema-constrained output for the weights. Reasoning control 10, the template has a reasoning_effort setting and keeps reasoning_content, and the card names the step3p5 reasoning parser for vLLM and SGLang, which returns the reasoning apart from the answer. Context 10, 256K tokens per the card, and 262,144 positions in config.json. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 85.

Memory earns 10, because the only build is the 70.5 GB BF16 checkpoint, about 85 GB with a fifth added, which fits only the reference machine's band. Runtimes earn 20. Transformers runs the whole model, and released vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp run its Thinker with text out, while Ollama and LM Studio have nothing. Builds score 0, with no FP8, 4-bit or GGUF build from Alibaba. Apache 2.0 with nothing added gives terms the full 15 and the ungated repository gives download the full 10. Hosted too scores 0, since no provider serves this checkpoint and Alibaba's API serves a different Flash model.

Step 3.7 Flash 70

Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits is StepFun's IQ4_XS GGUF, 104.99 GB with the 3.97 GB projector, and 108.96 GB × 1.2 = 130.8 GB, over what the reference machine can give a model and within 256 GB. The IQ3 and Q3 builds are below 4 bits and aren't read. Runtimes 20, Released vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23 and Transformers 5.22.2 have the step3p7 model, and llama.cpp b12242 has the architecture, with StepFun's own GGUF. Four at 5 each, and the card documents all four. Builds 15, StepFun publishes GGUF at five quantised precisions, an FP8 build and an NVFP4 build. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the card's metadata and its licence section, an OSI licence with nothing added. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for all four repositories on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 5, StepFun's own API serves it, per the card and our StepFun API listing, and Featherless and DeepInfra are live for it on Hugging Face. 5 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 70.

Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and languages are there, limitations, context and a cut-off aren't. Training data 5, the report's description has no cut-off. Last change 0, nothing that runs the model has changed for over a year. Responsiveness 0, Qwen answered none of the 40 most recent discussions. Version policy 5, Qwen2.5-Omni kept without notes. File health 5, contradictory licence and language metadata and an unanswered report about long audio.

Step 3.7 Flash 39

Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the language (in the metadata) are on the card. Training data 0, Nothing on the card about the training data. Last change 10, the last commit, on 3 June 2026, fixed the modelling code, 160 days before this check and within 180. Responsiveness 0, none of the 11 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (29 May to 24 June 2026) has a reply from a stepfun-ai member, counted on 10 November by author flags and dates with a script, text not read. Version policy 5, Step-3.5-Flash stays in its own repositories and 3.7 came out in new ones, with no dated note on the older cards that we read. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture and the context, and June commits fixed the modelling code. 14 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 39.

File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, so the cookbook's trust_remote_code flag runs nothing. Provenance 15, files in the Qwen organisation with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0 and agent guidance 0, nothing published, though spoken input can trigger tool calls. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0. Security programme 0, no security contact, disclosure policy or advisories for Qwen.

Step 3.7 Flash 45

File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25). Provenance 15, the files sit in the stepfun-ai organisation, which the card's StepFun platform and model page belong to (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 0, the card has no limitations section and gives no guidance on prompt injection, instruction priority, refusals or safeguards. Licence risk 15, Apache 2.0 has no use policy, threshold or change clause. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw on the card, and our StepFun API listing found no security.txt, bug bounty or disclosure policy. 15 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 45.
