OpenBMB open-sources the MiniCPM-OCR suite: a 1.3B parser scoring 93.68 on Real5-OmniDocBench, plus a 2B judge model that flags OCR errors

On Oct 27 OpenBMB (ModelBest) open-sourced the MiniCPM-OCR suite with two models: MiniCPM-OCR 1.0, a 1.3B-parameter document parser that scores 93.68 on Real5-OmniDocBench and 54.7 on OCRBench v2 (vendor-reported), and MiniCPM-OCR Jev, a 2B OCR quality judge that scores any parser's output region by region from 0 to 1 and flags content that needs human review. Code and weights are Apache 2.0, with day-one support for vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, Ollama and multiple chip platforms.

Key Takeaways

  • MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 has just 1.3B parameters and scores 93.68 on Real5-OmniDocBench and 54.7 on OCRBench v2 (vendor-reported, both claimed SOTA)
  • The 2B MiniCPM-OCR Jev judge reaches 93.6 AUROC on JevOCRBench, above JEV-35B-A3B at 90.1 and close to Qwen3.5-397B-A17B at 93.8 (vendor-reported)
  • Jev is parser-agnostic: AUROC stays between 91.9 and 93.4 on outputs from MiniCPM-OCR, GLM-OCR, PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 and Xiaomi-OCR-0
  • Throughput is about 1.49x PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 and 3.62x MinerU2.5 Pro, reaching up to about 128 pages per minute with SDK concurrency (vendor-reported)
  • Code and weights on GitHub are all Apache 2.0, with GGUF/AWQ/GPTQ quantized builds and a SKILL.md for coding agents

OpenBMB open-sources MiniCPM-V 4.7: a 35B-A3B MoE multimodal model that runs on-device at 13+ tokens/s on iPhone 17 Pro Max

On 2026-10-12 OpenBMB released MiniCPM-V 4.7, an Apache-2.0 open multimodal family with a 35B-A3B variant (the series' first MoE) and a 1B variant. Its Lookahead Expert Scheduling (LES) prefetches experts across layers and, combined with layer-wise mixed-precision quantization and DSpark speculative sampling, lifts SSD-offloaded decoding on an iPad Pro M4 (16GB) from 2.97 to 17.39 tokens/s (5.86x), per OpenBMB. Weights are on Hugging Face, ModelScope and Ollama, with vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and iOS/Android/HarmonyOS support.

OpenBMB open-sources MiniCPM-V 4.7: a 35B-A3B MoE multimodal model that runs on-device at 13+ tokens/s on iPhone 17 Pro Max

Key Takeaways

  • Two Apache-2.0 open-weight models: 35B-A3B (first MoE in the series, Qwen3.6 language backbone) and 1B, plus FP8 / AWQ / GPTQ / int4 / GGUF builds and DSpark draft models (Hugging Face)
  • LES on-device decode (OpenBMB, iPad Pro M4 16GB): baseline 2.97 → LES 9.81 → +layer-wise quant 14.92 → +DSpark 17.39 tokens/s, 5.86x overall (LES doc)
  • 35B-A3B reaches 13+ tokens/s on iPhone 17 Pro Max; mixed 4x/16x visual-token compression trades detail for cost per task
  • Vendor-reported (Instruct, 4x): MMBench 91.72, OCRBench 91.20, OmniDocBench v1.6 94.24, MMMU 80.22 vs Qwen3.6-35B-A3B at 86.76 / 86.00 / 80.17 / 77.44; still behind on SimpleVQA and ScreenSpot
  • Day-0 chip support for Rockchip, Houmo, Intel, AMD and Arm; runs on vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and Ollama; fine-tune via SWIFT / LLaMA-Factory

MiniCPM5-2B scores 15 on AA Intelligence Index v4.2 — top open-weights model under 4B

Artificial Analysis (@ArtificialAnlys) scored OpenBMB MiniCPM5-2B (2.6B dense, 131k context, Apache 2.0) at 15 on Intelligence Index v4.2 — highest among open-weights models under 4B total parameters. Strong small-model agentic results (GDPval-AA / τ³-Banking); coding/long-context benches like Terminal-Bench lag larger peers.

Key Takeaways

  • Model: OpenBMB MiniCPM5-2B — 2.6B dense, 131k context, Apache 2.0.
  • Score: AA Intelligence Index v4.2 = 15, highest open-weights under 4B (vs Granite 4.2 3B at 11).
  • Tradeoff: strong small-model agentic benches; weaker on Terminal-Bench / HLE-style coding and knowledge.
