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

OpenAI compatible tool calling?

Does this agentic model support only chat completions or also OpenAI compatible tool calling via llama.cpp?

would be nice to have not just what is 2+2= test prompts but a small demo server that shows agentic tool calling in action.

Ok I found this in the README.md:
Tool Calling
For tool / function calling, SGLang is the recommended backend. MiniCPM5-1B emits XML-style tool calls and SGLang's built-in minicpm5 parser converts them to OpenAI-compatible tool_calls natively:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B --port 30000
--tool-call-parser minicpm5 # or: --tool-call-parser auto

would be nice to have this working with llama.cpp as well

Thanks for raising this!

For llama.cpp, chat completions are supported today. For tool calling, we recommend SGLang or vLLM, which handle MiniCPM5’s tool call format natively (e.g. SGLang with --tool-call-parser minicpm5).
