MiniCPM5-1B (LiteRT-LM)

This repository hosts the LiteRT-LM (LiteRT formerly known as TensorFlow Lite) version of MiniCPM5-1B, optimized for fully on-device inference on mobile and edge hardware.

Available Models

• minicpm_dynamic_wi8_afp32_gpu_opt.litertlm: This model features dynamic weight-only INT8 quantization (wi8) with FP32 activations (afp32), heavily optimized for GPU execution.

What is MiniCPM?

MiniCPM5-1B is the first model in the MiniCPM5 series from OpenBMB. It is a dense 1B-parameter Transformer built specifically for on-device, local, and resource-constrained deployment, while reaching 1B-class open-source SOTA in its size class.

Highlights

• 🏆 1B-class open-source SOTA — strongest in tool use, code generation, and difficult reasoning among comparable open models.
• 🧠 Hybrid Reasoning — a single checkpoint serves as both a fast assistant and a deliberate reasoner via a built-in <think> template (enable_thinking).
• 📏 Long context — native 131,072-token context length.
• 📱 Built for the edge — compact footprint designed for local assistants, coding agents, and tool-use workflows.
