MiniCPM-o 4.5

MiniCPM-o 4.5 is the latest and most capable model in the MiniCPM-o series. The model is built in an end-to-end fashion based on SigLip2, Whisper-medium, CosyVoice2, and Qwen3-8B with a total of 9B parameters. It exhibits a significant performance improvement, and introduces new features for full-duplex multimodal live streaming. Notable features of MiniCPM-o 4.5 include:

• 🔥 Leading Visual Capability. MiniCPM-o 4.5 achieves an average score of 77.6 on OpenCompass, a comprehensive evaluation of 8 popular benchmarks. With only 9B parameters, it surpasses widely used proprietary models like GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Pro, and approaches Gemini 2.5 Flash for vision-language capabilities. It supports instruct and thinking modes in a single model, better covering efficiency and performance trade-offs in different user scenarios.

• 🎙 Strong Speech Capability. MiniCPM-o 4.5 supports bilingual real-time speech conversation with configurable voices in English and Chinese. It features more natural, expressive and stable speech conversation. The model also allows for fun features such as voice cloning and role play via a simple reference audio clip, where the cloning performance surpasses strong TTS tools such as CosyVoice2.

• 🎬 New Full-Duplex and Proactive Multimodal Live Streaming Capability. As a new feature, MiniCPM-o 4.5 can process real-time, continuous video and audio input streams simultaneously while generating concurrent text and speech output streams in an end-to-end fashion, without mutual blocking. This allows MiniCPM-o 4.5 to see, listen, and speak simultaneously, creating a fluid, real-time omnimodal conversation experience. Beyond reactive responses, the model can also perform proactive interaction, such as initiating reminders or comments based on its continuous understanding of the live scene.

• 💪 Strong OCR Capability, Efficiency and Others. Advancing popular visual capabilities from MiniCPM-V series, MiniCPM-o 4.5 can process high-resolution images (up to 1.8 million pixels) and high-FPS videos (up to 10fps) in any aspect ratio efficiently. It achieves state-of-the-art performance for end-to-end English document parsing on OmniDocBench, outperforming proprietary models such as Gemini-3 Flash and GPT-5, and specialized tools such as DeepSeek-OCR 2. It also features trustworthy behaviors, matching Gemini 2.5 Flash on MMHal-Bench, and supports multilingual capabilities on more than 30 languages.

• 💫 Easy Usage. MiniCPM-o 4.5 can be easily used in various ways: Basic usage, recommended for 100% precision: PyTorch inference with Nvidia GPU. Other end-side adaptation includes (1) llama.cpp and Ollama support for efficient CPU inference on local devices, (2) int4 and GGUF format quantized models in 16 sizes, (3) vLLM and SGLang support for high-throughput and memory-efficient inference, (4) FlagOS support for the unified multi-chip backend plugin. We also open-sourced web demos on which enables the full-duplex multimodal live streaming experience on local devices such as GPUs, PCs (e.g., on a MacBook).

Model Architecture.

• End-to-end Omni-modal Architecture. The modality encoders/decoders and LLM are densely connected via hidden states in an end-to-end fashion. This enables better information flow and control, and also facilitates full exploitation of rich multimodal knowledge during training.
• Full-Duplex Omni-modal Live Streaming Mechanism. (1) We turn the offline modality encoder/decoders into online and full-duplex ones for streaming inputs/outputs. The speech token decoder models text and speech tokens in an interleaved fashion to support full-duplex speech generation (i.e., sync timely with new input). This also facilitates more stable long speech generation (e.g., > 1min). (2) We sync all the input and output streams on timeline in milliseconds, which are jointly modeled by a time-division multiplexing (TDM) mechanism for omni-modality streaming processing in the LLM backbone. It divides parallel omni-modality streams into sequential info groups within small periodic time slices.
• Proactive Interaction Mechanism. The LLM continuously monitors the input video and audio streams, and decides at a frequency of 1Hz to speak or not. This high decision-making frequency together with full-duplex nature are curcial to enable the proactive interaction capability.
• Configurable Speech Modeling Design. We inherent the multimodal system prompt design of MiniCPM-o 2.6, which includes a traditional text system prompt, and a new audio system prompt to determine the assistant voice. This enables cloning new voices and role play in inference time for speech conversation.

Offline Inference Examples with Transformers

Inference using Hugging Face Transformers on NVIDIA GPUs. Please ensure transformers==4.51.0 is installed, as other versions may have compatibility issues (under investigation). Requirements tested on Python 3.10:

• Without TTS or streaming inference:

pip install "transformers==4.51.0" accelerate "torch>=2.3.0,<=2.8.0" "torchaudio<=2.8.0" "minicpmo-utils>=1.0.5"

• With TTS or streaming inference:

pip install "transformers==4.51.0" accelerate "torch>=2.3.0,<=2.8.0" "torchaudio<=2.8.0" "minicpmo-utils[all]>=1.0.5"

Note: FFmpeg is required for video frame extraction (get_video_frame_audio_segments with use_ffmpeg=True) and video generation (generate_duplex_video). For more information, visit the official FFmpeg website.

macOS (Homebrew):

brew install ffmpeg

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg

Verify installation:

The Mimick task evaluates a model's end-to-end speech modeling capability. The model takes audio input, transcribes it, and reconstructs the original audio with high fidelity, preserving detailed acoustic, paralinguistic, and semantic information. Higher similarity between the reconstructed and original audio indicates stronger end-to-end speech modeling capability.

• ASR (Chinese, or AST EN→ZH): 请仔细听这段音频片段，并将其内容逐字记录。
• ASR (English, or AST ZH→EN): Please listen to the audio snippet carefully and transcribe the content.
• Speaker Analysis: Based on the speaker's content, speculate on their gender, condition, age range, and health status.
• General Audio Caption: Summarize the main content of the audio.
• Sound Scene Tagging: Utilize one keyword to convey the audio's content or the associated scene.

import librosa

model.init_tts()

# Load the audio to be transcribed/analyzed
audio_input, _ = librosa.load("assets/Trump_WEF_2018_10s.mp3", sr=16000, mono=True)

# Choose a task prompt (see above for options)
task_prompt = "Please listen to the audio snippet carefully and transcribe the content.\n"
msgs = [{"role": "user", "content": [task_prompt, audio_input]}]

Structured Content Input

Click to show structured content input details.

The chat method accepts message content in two formats:

Native format – pass Python objects directly:

msgs = [{"role": "user", "content": [pil_image, audio_ndarray, "Describe this."]}]

OpenAI-compatible format – use structured dictionaries:

msgs = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "/path/to/image.jpg"}},
            {"type": "audio_url", "audio_url": {"url": "/path/to/audio.wav"}},
            {"type": "video_url", "video_url": {"url": "/path/to/video.mp4", "use_audio": True}},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this."}
        ]
    }
]

Supported types:

• URL sources: local file paths or http:///https:// URLs
• Mixed formats: native objects and structured dicts can be combined in the same content list

Supported Frameworks

FlagOS

To enable large-scale deployment across different AI chips, Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute, together with numerous research institutions, chip manufacturers, system vendors, and algorithm and software organizations both domestically and internationally, jointly initiated and established the FlagOS Open Source Community.

The FlagOS community is dedicated to building a unified, open-source system software stack for various AI chips, encompassing core open-source projects such as a large-scale operator library, a unified AI compiler, parallel training and inference frameworks, and a unified communication library. It aims to create an open technology ecosystem connecting the "model-system-chip" layers. By enabling "develop once, deploy across chips", FlagOS unlocks the computational potential of hardware, breaks down the ecosystem silos between different chip software stacks, and effectively reduces migration costs for developers. The FlagOS community fosters an AI hardware and software ecosystem, overcomes single-vendor closed-source monopolies, promotes widespread deployment of AI hardware technologies, and is committed to rooted in China while embracing global collaboration.
