MiniCPM5 1B

MiniCPM5-1B is the first release in the MiniCPM5 series, a dense 1B-parameter causal language model built for on-device, local deployment, and resource-constrained scenarios. It is based on the standard LlamaForCausalLM architecture and supports English and Chinese. According to its official model card, it reaches 1B-class open-source SOTA within its comparison set, with advantages noted in agentic tool use, code generation, and difficult reasoning. It provides native long-context support and a hybrid reasoning mode via a built-in `` chat template that can be switched with `enable_thinking`. The checkpoint is licensed under Apache-2.0 and is available alongside related SFT, Base, GGUF, and MLX variants.
