MiniCPM5-2B

Small enough for the device, built to act

What it does

MiniCPM5-2B is OpenBMB's dense 2B follow-up to MiniCPM5-1B. It is built for on-device and local use, leads the 2B open-source class, and stays competitive with larger 4B models on coding, math, long context, and agent tasks. Apache 2.0 weights, GGUF, and MLX are up.

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

We are releasing MiniCPM5-2B , the second model in the MiniCPM5 series, following MiniCPM5-1B . It is a dense 2B Transformer that scales up the same training recipe, built for on-device, local deployment, and resource-constrained scenarios, reaching 2B-class open-source SOTA. 🏆 2B-class open-source SOTA : compared with strong open-source models of similar size, MiniCPM5-2B achieves SOTA performance within this comparison set. It remains competitive with 4B-class models overall, while showing its advantages over models of comparable size in coding, mathematics, long-context understanding, tool use, and agentic tasks. 📂 Open High-Quality Data : Alongside the model, we are releasing the…from huggingface.co

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
