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**ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B).** A Qwen3.8-27B with shorter reasoning, for agent work where thinking tokens cost time, and BottleCap's 4-bit GGUF runs in about 19 GB. The main limits are the licence, which needs a paid licence above 100 people or 1,000,000 USD revenue, a gated main repository, and no safety results or training-data description.\n\n## Before you call either\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### ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B)\n\n1. Check the licence first, an organisation with 100 or more people or 1,000,000 USD (2019) revenue needs a commercial licence from BottleCap\n2. For files without the gate use `llama-server -hf bottlecapai/ThinkingCap-Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, about 17.4 GB\n3. On vLLM use `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_xml`, and on SGLang `--tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`\n4. Set `reasoning_effort` (xhigh, medium or low) in chat_template_kwargs, any other value makes the template raise an error\n5. Keep the base's sampling (temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, top_k 20), the GGUF card says greedy decoding can loop\n6. The GGUFs carry an MTP head, and llama.cpp builds without MTP support for this architecture may refuse to load them with a missing blk.64 tensor\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, SmolLM3-3B or ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B)?\n\nSmolLM3-3B and ThinkingCap (Qwen3.8 27B) 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/smollm3-3b-vs-thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/smollm3-3b-vs-thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"smollm3-3b\", \"b\": \"thinkingcap-qwen3-8-27b\"}`.
