MiniCPM5
MiniCPM5 is OpenBMB’s fifth-generation dense language-model family for local and resource-constrained use. The 1.08B model was announced May 19, followed by a 2.52B model on September 7. Both support a documented 128K context and target reasoning, coding, tool use, writing, and instruction following. The training recipe combines high-quality data, instruction tuning, and complementary reinforcement-learning signals. Apache-licensed base, intermediate, supervised, and final checkpoints are grouped as variants, alongside routine deployment formats. Small parameter counts improve local practicality but do not eliminate errors or the need for application-specific evaluation.
