	# mlx-community/MiniCPM5-1B-4bit

	This model [mlx-community/MiniCPM5-1B-4bit](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/MiniCPM5-1B-4bit) was
	converted to MLX format from [openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B)
	using mlx-lm version 0.31.2.

	## Use with mlx

	```bash
	pip install mlx-lm
	```

	```python
	from mlx_lm import load, generate

	model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/MiniCPM5-1B-4bit")

	prompt = "hello"

	if tokenizer.chat_template is not None:
	messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
	prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_dict=False,
	)

	response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)
	```
