- 🏗️ **Efficient Model Architecture:**
  - InfLLM v2 -- Trainable Sparse Attention Mechanism: Adopts a trainable sparse attention mechanism architecture where each token only needs to compute relevance with less than 5% of tokens in 128K long text processing, significantly reducing computational overhead for long texts

- 🧠 **Efficient Learning Algorithms:**
  - Model Wind Tunnel 2.0 -- Efficient Predictable Scaling: Introduces scaling prediction methods for performance of downstream tasks, enabling more precise model training configuration search
  - BitCPM -- Ultimate Ternary Quantization: Compresses model parameter bit-width to 3 values, achieving 90% extreme model bit-width reduction
  - Efficient Training Engineering Optimization: Adopts FP8 low-precision computing technology combined with Multi-token Prediction training strategy

- 📚 **High-Quality Training Data:**
  - UltraClean -- High-quality Pre-training Data Filtering and Generation: Builds iterative data cleaning strategies based on efficient data verification, open-sourcing high-quality Chinese and English pre-training dataset [UltraFinweb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openbmb/Ultra-FineWeb)
  - UltraChat v2 -- High-quality Supervised Fine-tuning Data Generation: Constructs large-scale high-quality supervised fine-tuning datasets covering multiple dimensions including knowledge-intensive data, reasoning-intensive data, instruction-following data, long text understanding data, and tool calling data

- ⚡ **Efficient Inference System:**
  - CPM.cu -- Lightweight and Efficient CUDA Inference Framework: Integrates sparse attention, model quantization, and speculative sampling to achieve efficient prefilling and decoding
  - ArkInfer -- Cross-platform Deployment System: Supports efficient deployment across multiple backend environments, providing flexible cross-platform adaptation capabilities

## Usage
### Inference with Transformers
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

path = "openbmb/MiniCPM4-0.5B-QAT-Int4-GPTQ-format"
device = "cuda"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(path, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(path, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=device, trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "推荐5个北京的景点。"},
]
model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True).to(device)

model_outputs = model.generate(
    model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    top_p=0.7,
    temperature=0.7
)

output_token_ids = [
    model_outputs[i][len(model_inputs[i]):] for i in range(len(model_inputs))
]

responses = tokenizer.batch_decode(output_token_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(responses)

```

### Inference with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm)

You can inference MiniCPM4-0.5B-QAT-Int4-GPTQ-format with vLLM:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_name = "openbmb/MiniCPM4-0.5B-QAT-Int4-GPTQ-format"
prompt = [{"role": "user", "content": "推荐5个北京的景点。"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(prompt, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

llm = LLM(
    model=model_name,
    quantization="gptq_marlin",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    max_num_batched_tokens=32768,
    dtype="bfloat16", 
    gpu_memory_utilization=0.8,
