Model Summary

MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 is the latest model in the MiniCPM-V series. The model is built on SigLip-400M and Llama3-8B-Instruct with a total of 8B parameters. It exhibits a significant performance improvement over MiniCPM-V 2.0. Notable features of MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 include:

  • 🔥 Leading Performance. MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 has achieved an average score of 65.1 on OpenCompass, a comprehensive evaluation over 11 popular benchmarks. With only 8B parameters, it surpasses widely used proprietary models like GPT-4V-1106, Gemini Pro, Claude 3 and Qwen-VL-Max and greatly outperforms other Llama 3-based MLLMs.

  • 💪 Strong OCR Capabilities. MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 can process images with any aspect ratio and up to 1.8 million pixels (e.g., 1344x1344), achieving an 700+ score on OCRBench, surpassing proprietary models such as GPT-4o, GPT-4V-0409, Qwen-VL-Max and Gemini Pro. Based on recent user feedback, MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 has now enhanced full-text OCR extraction, table-to-markdown conversion, and other high-utility capabilities, and has further strengthened its instruction-following and complex reasoning abilities, enhancing multimodal interaction experiences.

  • 🏆 Trustworthy Behavior. Leveraging the latest RLAIF-V method (the newest technology in the RLHF-V [CVPR'24] series), MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 exhibits more trustworthy behavior. It achieves 10.3% hallucination rate on Object HalBench, lower than GPT-4V-1106 (13.6%), achieving the best-level performance within the open-source community. Data released.

  • 🌏 Multilingual Support. Thanks to the strong multilingual capabilities of Llama 3 and the cross-lingual generalization technique from VisCPM, MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 extends its bilingual (Chinese-English) multimodal capabilities to over 30 languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Japanese etc. All Supported Languages.

  • 🚀 Efficient Deployment. MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 systematically employs model quantization, CPU optimizations, NPU optimizations and compilation optimizations, achieving high-efficiency deployment on edge devices. For mobile phones with Qualcomm chips, we have integrated the NPU acceleration framework QNN into llama.cpp for the first time. After systematic optimization, MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 has realized a 150-fold acceleration in multimodal large model end-side image encoding and a 3-fold increase in language decoding speed.

  • 💫 Easy Usage. MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5 can be easily used in various ways: (1) llama.cpp and ollama support for efficient CPU inference on local devices, (2) GGUF format quantized models in 16 sizes, (3) efficient LoRA fine-tuning with only 2 V100 GPUs, (4) streaming output, (5) quick local WebUI demo setup with Gradio and Streamlit, and (6) interactive demos on HuggingFace Spaces.
