MiniCPM5-2B NVFP4 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.

Model Architecture

Property	Value
Architecture	LlamaForCausalLM (dense)
Total Parameters	2.52B
Non-Embedding Parameters	1.98B
Layers	42
Attention Heads (GQA)	16 Q / 2 KV
Context Length	131,072 (128K)
Original Precision	bfloat16
Supported Languages	en, zh

Available GGUF Files

File	Quantization	Size	Use Case
`minicpm5-2b-nvfp4.gguf`	NVFP4	1.4 GB	4-bit NVFP4, compact, quality/size balance
`minicpm5-2b-dspark-nvfp4.gguf`	NVFP4	1.4 GB	Draft model

Usage

llama.cpp CLI

./llama-cli \
  -m minicpm5-2b-nvfp4.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-nvfp4.gguf \
  --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

The GGUF also works with Ollama and LM Studio.

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

This GGUF was quantized to NVFP4 (a 4-bit floating-point format) from the BF16 source model, verified with llama.cpp's GGUF reader. All weight tensors use NVFP4; the embedding/output and norm tensors are kept in higher precision (Q6_K / F32) to preserve quality. Recommended sampling settings are stored in the file's metadata: temperature 1.0, top-p 0.95.
