## MiniCPM-V
**MiniCPM-V** (i.e., OmniLMM-3B)is an efficient version with promising performance for deployment. The model is built based on [MiniCPM-2B](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-2B-sft-bf16) and SigLip-400M, connected by a perceiver resampler. Notable features of MiniCPM-V include:

- 🚀 **High Efficiency.** 

  MiniCPM-V can be **efficiently deployed on most GPU cards and personal computers**, and **even on edge devices such as mobile phones**. In terms of visual encoding, we compress the image representations into 64 tokens via a perceiver resampler, which is significantly fewer than other LMMs based on MLP architecture (typically > 512 tokens). This allows MiniCPM-V to operate with **much less memory cost and higher speed during inference**.

- 🔥 **Promising Performance.** 

  MiniCPM-V achieves **state-of-the-art performance** on multiple benchmarks (including MMMU, MME, and MMbech, etc) among models with comparable sizes, surpassing existing LMMs built on Phi-2. It even **achieves comparable or better performance than the 9.6B Qwen-VL-Chat**.

- 🙌 **Bilingual Support.** 

  MiniCPM-V is **the first edge-deployable LMM supporting bilingual multimodal interaction in English and Chinese**. This is achieved by generalizing multimodal capabilities across languages, a technique from our ICLR 2024 spotlight [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.12038).
