Model card
MiniCPM5-2B is a highly efficient, small-scale language model designed for developers prioritizing low-latency performance and edge-device deployment. While many models focus on massive parameter counts, this 2B-class model optimizes the power-to-performance ratio, making it an ideal candidate for local integration where GPU memory is constrained. It excels in text generation tasks and instruction following, offering a streamlined alternative to larger LLMs for specialized workflows like real-time chatbots, local summarization, or embedded agentic tasks. For developers working within the Apache-2.0 ecosystem, it provides a permissive framework for commercial integration. Compared to standard lightweight models, MiniCPM5-2B focuses on maintaining high reasoning density despite its compact footprint, ensuring that developers don't have to sacrifice much linguistic nuance for the sake of speed and reduced infrastructure costs.
Model files and versions
Download this model
We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.
openbmb/MiniCPM5-2BInstall the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.
pip install modelscopeDownload the complete weights, configuration and model card.
modelscope download --model openbmb/MiniCPM5-2BREADME.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.
modelscope download --model openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B README.md --local_dir ./dirUseful in Python projects and automation scripts.
from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B')Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.
git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B.gitFetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.
