The MiniCPM-V & o Cookbook provides scenario-based recipes for deploying, fine-tuning, quantizing, and building demos with MiniCPM-V and MiniCPM-o. The documentation website presents these recipes in a structured way for quick lookup.
For MiniCPM-o 4.5 API usage, see the API Guide. Previous MiniCPM-V 4.6 usage is available in its archived documentation.
It is organized for:
- Individuals: Local inference, quantized deployment, and end-device demos.
- Enterprises: Scalable serving, high-throughput inference, and production-oriented deployment.
- Researchers: Fine-tuning, model adaptation, and experimental workflows.
For framework-specific deployment and training guides, see Supported Inference and Training Frameworks and API.
We support inference with vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and Ollama. See the per-model deployment guides below, or refer to our Cookbook for more details.

FlagOS supports inference of MiniCPM-o 4.5 across six AI chip families, including Nvidia GPUs.
Click to show FlagOS support details.
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. Official website: https://flagos.io.
Thanks to FlagOS’s unified multi-chip AI system software stack, MiniCPM-o 4.5 was adapted to 6 different AI chips in an extremely short time. Currently, the multi-chip version of MiniCPM-o 4.5 has been released on FlagRelease, FlagOS’s platform for automatic migration, adaptation, and deployment of large models across multi-architecture AI chips.

On the Transformers version, under the premise of precision alignment between the CUDA and FlagOS ecosystems, FlagOS achieves a 6% performance improvement in total task execution time compared to CUDA.
From FlagRelease【Recommendation】
FlagRelease is a platform developed by the FlagOS team for automatic migration, adaptation, and deployment of large models across multi-architecture AI chips. The multi-chip version of MiniCPM-o 4.5 has already been released on FlagRelease. All necessary software packages are pre-installed on the platform, so users do not need to install anything.
