Highlights

We are releasing MiniCPM5-1B, the first model in the MiniCPM5 series. It is a dense 1B Transformer built for on-device, local deployment, and resource-constrained scenarios, reaching 1B-class open-source SOTA.

🏆 1B-class open-source SOTA: compared with strong open-source models in the same size class, MiniCPM5-1B reaches SOTA within this comparison set. Its advantage is most visible in agentic tool use, code generation, and difficult reasoning.

🧠 Hybrid Reasoning: built-in <think> chat template, switch via enable_thinking. The same checkpoint serves as both a fast assistant and a deliberate reasoner.

🛠️ Deployment / Fine-tuning Resources: the MiniCPM GitHub repo provides single-page cookbooks and Agent Skills for major inference backends and fine-tuning frameworks.

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.

Evaluation Results

We compare MiniCPM5-1B with strong open-source models in the same size class, including LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking, Qwen3-0.6B/think and Qwen3.5-0.8B/think. These are capable baselines; within this comparison set, MiniCPM5-1B reaches 1B-class open-source SOTA, with its advantage most visible in tool use, code generation, and difficult reasoning. This makes it a practical choice for local coding agents, tool assistants, and reasoning assistants.

Training Recipe

The training of MiniCPM5-1B is a full-stack practice of UltraData Tiered Data Management, covering three stages: base training, mid-training, and post-training.

During base training, the model goes through stable training and decay training to build core language capability and training stability. It then enters mid-training to further strengthen target capabilities and adapt to the target data distribution. The training corpus is released alongside the model as Ultra-FineWeb, Ultra-FineWeb-L3, and UltraData-Math.

During post-training, we proceed in three steps: SFT, RL, and OPD. We first use 200B tokens of deep-thinking SFT and 200B tokens of hybrid-thinking SFT to establish deep-thinking, hybrid-thinking, and general chat abilities; the SFT data is released as UltraData-SFT-2605. We then train specialized RL teachers for math, code, closed-book QA, writing, and related domains, and use On-Policy Distillation (OPD) to distill these teachers back into one release model.

What does RL + OPD bring?

RL + OPD is a key part of MiniCPM5-1B post-training. On math, code and instruction-following tasks, RL + OPD raises the average score by ↑16 points while cutting the share of responses that hit the max-tokens budget by ↓29 percentage points. The figures below show the two-stage Reasoning RL pipeline, score gains, and the drop in overlong responses.

RL combines complementary training signals for reasoning, closed-book QA, writing, instruction following, long-context understanding, and general dialogue. Reasoning RL is based on DAPO-Math-17k (inspired by JustRL's minimalist recipe) and uses a two-stage length schedule to reduce overlong responses while improving reasoning accuracy. We also use TriviaQA, NQ-Open, LongWriter-Zero-RLData, synthesized verifiable RLVR data, and pair-wise RLHF signals to improve reliability, instruction following, and user experience.

OPD builds on Thinking Machines Lab's On-Policy Distillation and incorporates implementation improvements from Rethinking On-Policy Distillation. In the RL framework, we use reverse KL divergence as the advantage estimate, replacing the original verification-based advantage. At each response position, we take top-k logits from both the student and teacher models, compute reverse KL on the union of the two token sets, and balance the accuracy of the RKL signal with training efficiency. OPD reuses the in-domain prompts used to train each RL teacher as distillation data, so no additional data curation is required.

Quickstart

vLLM

pip install "vllm>=0.21"
vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B --port 8000

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \

model_id = "openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

Recommended chat template sampling:

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

GitHub Cookbooks and Agent Skills

MiniCPM5-1B uses the standard LlamaForCausalLM architecture, so mainstream inference engines can load it directly: no custom kernels, no model-code fork. For step-by-step deployment and fine-tuning instructions, use the GitHub cookbooks below. Agent Skills are linked as GitHub resources for users working with Cursor / Claude Code style coding agents.

Deployment

Fine-tuning

Other Supported Frameworks

In addition to the deployment and fine-tuning frameworks listed above, MiniCPM5-1B is also supported by FlagOS for multi-chip deployment.

FlagOS Overview

To enable large-scale deployment across different AI chips, Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute, together with numerous research institutions, chip manufacturers, system vendors, and algorithm and software organizations both domestically and internationally, jointly initiated and established the FlagOS Open Source Community.

The FlagOS community is dedicated to building a unified, open-source system software stack for various AI chips, encompassing core open-source projects such as a large-scale operator library, a unified AI compiler, parallel training and inference frameworks, and a unified communication library. It aims to create an open technology ecosystem connecting the “model-system-chip” layers. By enabling “develop once, deploy across chips”, FlagOS unlocks the computational potential of hardware, breaks down the ecosystem silos between different chip software stacks, and effectively reduces migration costs for developers.The FlagOS community fosters an AI hardware and software ecosystem, overcomes single-vendor closed-source monopolies, promotes widespread deployment of AI hardware technologies, and is committed to rooted in China while embracing global collaboration.
