MiniCPM5 2B MLX

MiniCPM5 2B MLX is an Apache-2.0 licensed, text-generation model from OpenBMB, designed as a dense 2B Transformer for on-device, local deployment, and resource-constrained scenarios. According to the model card, it is the second model in the MiniCPM5 series and supports English and Chinese. Its stated focus areas include coding, mathematics, long-context understanding, tool use, and agentic tasks, and it is presented as achieving SOTA performance within a comparison set of similarly sized open-source models while remaining competitive with 4B-class models overall.

LOCALRENTED GPUOPEN WEIGHTS

Freshness 86 out of 100. Repository age: 40 days old, Sep 5, 2026. Measures age, not quality.

Popularity 73 out of 100. 554,313 downloads in 30 days; 55 lifetime likes. Checked Oct 15, 2026. Measures adoption, not quality.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.
