The 8B that made the series' reputation: an average of 77.0 on OpenCompass, which put it ahead of GPT-4o-latest and Gemini 2.0 Pro and made it the strongest multimodal model under 30B at release. Built on Qwen3-8B with a SigLIP2-400M vision encoder, 32K context, 5.6 GB at Q4_K_M. Code is Apache 2.0; the weights carry OpenBMB's own community licence, which permits free commercial use after registration.
MiniCPM-V 4.5 needs about 6 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M — quantized weights plus framework overhead, before any KV cache. On Apple Silicon that figure comes out of unified memory.

Modelled on a reference NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB), with no KV cache (this record has no published architecture). Speed figures are ESTIMATES from the memory-bandwidth roofline described on the methodology page, not benchmarks we ran — rows marked measured come from published or reader-submitted runs. VRAM here includes the KV cache, so it reads higher than the headline figure above, which does not.
