# MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF (Q4_K_M)

Mirror of [openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF)'s
`MiniCPM5-1B-Q4_K_M.gguf`. Used by the IceSpiritAI_Chat Android app (MiniCPM5-1B
GGUF backend via llama.cpp; alternative to the default Qwen3.5-2B-MNN LLM).

## Why this mirror exists

IceSpiritAI_Chat is a dual-LLM Android app. The default LLM is
`Qwen3.5-2B-MNN` (small, fast, on-device MNN); the alternative is
`MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF` (slightly larger, higher-quality generations, served by a
llama.cpp native pipeline). Users in mainland China without reliable access to
`huggingface.co` can use this mirror or the ModelScope mirror
[`AlexZh/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF`](https://modelscope.cn/models/AlexZh/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF).
