OpenBMB

The MiniCPM family of models are tiny and highly capable models for a variety of usecases spanning many test, vision, and audio.

Includes MiniCPM 1B (ultra-fast local text), MiniCPM 4.18B (deep reasoning), MiniCPM-V 4.6 (1.3B param vision/document assistant), and MiniCPM-o 4.5 (world's first full-duplex omni-model for natural text/audio/vision).

OpenBMB have provided free API access to use these models.

API endpoints:

Authorization:

Bearer sk-minicpm-V8bcD-YTAMxECagaKOnbwTCN69|IN2LhSezGOgq2Ues

These models can also be run locally on most hardware via llama.cpp or transformers.

Recommended MiniCPM Models

The following models are recommended for participants building with MiniCPM models. Participants may also use other rule-compliant MiniCPM series models as long as they comply with the hackathon’s model-size requirements. Model Best For Link

NVIDIA

Models: Nemotron 3 Nano (30B total, 3B active MoE), Nemotron 3 Nano 4B (edge), Nemotron 3 Nano Omni (multimodal), Nemotron Cascade (math/code), Nemotron 3 ASR (speech recognition), Nemotron Parse (< 1B parameter document extraction), and Nemotron Embed VL (vision-language embeddings).

Modal

Infrastructure for all AI workloads.

inference

Deploy and scale inference for LLMs, audio, image/video generation.

training

Fine-tune open-source models on single or multi-node clusters instantly.

batch

Parallelize massive jobs with Modal's hyper-elastic compute infrastructure.

sandboxes

Programmatically scale ephemeral environments for running untrusted code.

Tools: Elastic, serverless compute infrastructure ideal for running fast inference, fine-tuning scripts in ~300 lines of code, parallel hyperparameter sweeps, and deploying coding agents within remote sandboxed environments.

JetBrains

Models: Mellum 2 (12B parameter mixture of experts). Optimized for coding and high-throughput logic requests. Available in dedicated "Thinking" (reasoning-heavy) and "Instruct" (blazingly fast) configurations.

What is Mellum2?

• Family of open-source language models from JetBrains • Built for coding and language tasks • Optimized for low-latency, high-throughput inference • Apache 2.0 licensed • Deploy locally or in the cloud

What can you build? • Al coding assistants • RAG applications • Intelligent routing between models • Code analysis and developer tools • Real-time chat and automation

Cohere Labs

Cohere Transcribe is a 2B parameter fast ASR model covering 14 languages. The Aya 3.3B series (Base, Global, Earth, Fire, and Water variants) are tiny text generation models, each targeting and optimized for distinct geographical language families and low-resource languages.

Together, they are a good fit for local multilingual assistants, voice interfaces, accessibility tools, offline translation helpers, and small apps for real people.
