MiniCPM5-2B GGUF
GGUF quantized version of openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B, the second model in the MiniCPM5 series. It is a dense 2B Transformer (LlamaForCausalLM) built for on-device, local deployment, and resource-constrained scenarios, reaching 2B-class open-source SOTA.
Model Overview
MiniCPM5-2B is designed for local assistants, coding agents, tool-use workflows, and reasoning scenarios where a compact model is preferred. It keeps a small deployment footprint while providing native long-context support (131,072 tokens), and was post-trained with RL + OPD (On-Policy Distillation). It supports a chat template with thinking/reasoning mode (controlled via enable_thinking) and XML-style tool calling.

DSpark Draft Model (Speculative Decoding)
| File | Quantization | Size | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
minicpm5-2b-dspark-bf16.gguf |
BF16 | 623 MB | Draft model, full precision |
minicpm5-2b-dspark-Q8_0.gguf |
Q8_0 | 334 MB | Draft model, near-lossless |
minicpm5-2b-dspark-Q4_K_M.gguf |
Q4_K_M | 186 MB | Draft model, smallest footprint |
These are the MiniCPM5-2B-DSpark draft models, trained for speculative decoding with MiniCPM5-2B. They accelerate generation without changing the target model's outputs.
Usage
llama.cpp CLI
./llama-cli \
-m minicpm5-2b-Q4_K_M.gguf \
-p "Explain quantum computing in simple terms." \
--temp 1.0 --top-p 0.95
llama-server (OpenAI-compatible API)
./llama-server \
-m minicpm5-2b-Q4_K_M.gguf \
--host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
The GGUF also works with Ollama and LM Studio.
Speculative Decoding (DSpark)
Pair the target model with a DSpark draft model to speed up inference. Draft model quality has minimal impact on output, so smaller quants (e.g. Q4_K_M) are usually fine:
./llama-server \
-m minicpm5-2b-Q4_K_M.gguf \
-md minicpm5-2b-dspark-Q4_K_M.gguf \
--host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
Thinking Mode
The model supports deep-thinking output. You can control it per request via the chat template, e.g. with an OpenAI-compatible API:
"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": false}
Tool Calling
MiniCPM5-2B emits XML-style tool calls. Tool definitions are injected into the prompt, and tool results are returned in the observation/tool role. SGLang's built-in minicpm5 parser converts these to OpenAI-compatible tool_calls natively (see upstream model card).
Generation Parameters
Recommended parameters from the original model:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 1.0 |
| Top-P | 0.95 |
Quantization
These GGUF files were created from the BF16 source model using llama-quantize from the llama.cpp project.
