Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

MiniCPM5-1B ranks #224 of 224 on the public leaderboard with a score of 11.3/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

MiniCPM5-1B is a open weight model with a 131K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Tracked from OpenBMB's MiniCPM5-1B Hugging Face, GitHub, and ModelScope release pages. The official model card describes MiniCPM5-1B as an Apache-2.0 dense 1.08B LlamaForCausalLM checkpoint with BF16 safetensors, a 131,072-token context window, bilingual English/Chinese support, local/on-device deployment focus, tool-calling support, and hybrid Think / No Think chat modes via enable_thinking. BenchLM maps exact benchmark rows from OpenBMB's published MiniCPM5-1B evaluation table.

14 of 402 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Instruction Following at #40, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #130. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does MiniCPM5-1B perform overall in AI benchmarks?

MiniCPM5-1B ranks #224 out of 224 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 11.3/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 14 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for knowledge and understanding?

MiniCPM5-1B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for coding and programming?

MiniCPM5-1B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for mathematics?

MiniCPM5-1B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for reasoning and logic?

MiniCPM5-1B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

MiniCPM5-1B ranks #130 out of 137 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 28.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is MiniCPM5-1B good for instruction following?

MiniCPM5-1B ranks #40 out of 41 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 13.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is MiniCPM5-1B open source?

MiniCPM5-1B is an open-weight model from OpenBMB. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does MiniCPM5-1B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. MiniCPM5-1B currently has 14 source-displayable rows across 402 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of MiniCPM5-1B?

MiniCPM5-1B has a reported context window of 131K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.

Last updated August 22, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
