When I run this model and upload an image, the llama.cpp throws:
In the UI: Error: "This model supports: text files, PDFs"
through the local API: "image input is not supported - hint: if this is unexpected, you may need to provide the mmproj"

@fawogin598
This is a usage/configuration issue rather than a model support issue.
The "mmproj" field in the OpenAI request body is not supported and will not load the projector.
The projector must be specified when starting llama.cpp:

llama-server \
  -m MiniCPM-V-4_6-Q4_K_M.gguf \
  --mmproj mmproj-model-f16.gguf
