Ultra-efficient 1.3B vision-language model for mobile
MiniCPM-V 4.6 is an open MLLM for image and video understanding on phones and consumer hardware, with mixed 4x/16x visual token compression, iOS/Android/HarmonyOS demos, and support for vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Ollama.
MiniCPM-V 4.6 is a 1.3B open MLLM for image and video understanding, built for phones and consumer-grade hardware. It is the smallestMiniCPM-V model to date, and probably the cleanest efficiency play in the series so far.
Visual understanding can get expensive very quickly, especially with high-res images, video inputs, and on-device use cases. MiniCPM-V 4.6 focuses on making that workload lighter, faster, and more practical to deploy.
It also has a pretty complete developer path: mobile demos across iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS, Apache-2.0 weights and code, quantized versions, and support for frameworks like vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Ollama.
Small multimodal models are getting a lot more interesting when they are designed around real edge constraints!
