Instructions to use openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B

SGLang

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

 ## Introduction
-MiniCPM5-1B is a compact dense decoder-only Transformer trained to improve output quality at the 1B scale. It keeps the standard `LlamaForCausalLM` architecture (24 layers, GQA 8:1, native 128K context, 1,080,632,832 parameters) so it runs on mainstream inference engines (Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, MLX, Ollama, LM Studio) without custom kernels.
-For full architecture details and per-component parameter breakdown, see the [Transformers deployment cookbook](https://github.com/OpenBMB/MiniCPM/blob/minicpm5/docs/deployment/transformers.md).
 ## Evaluation Results

 ## Introduction
+MiniCPM5-1B is the first checkpoint in the MiniCPM5 series. It is designed for local assistants, coding agents, tool-use workflows, and reasoning scenarios where a compact model is preferred. The model keeps a small deployment footprint while providing native long-context support and both Think / No Think chat modes through the same checkpoint.
