OpenBMB launches MiniCPM-V 4.6 with 1.3B parameters on 6GB RAM
ModelBest and OpenBMB just open-sourced MiniCPM-V 4.6, a 1.3B multimodal model designed to run on-device with just 6GB of RAM. Despite its small size, it beats rivals like Qwen3.5-0.8B in multi-benchmark tests while slashing token consumption to a fraction of the cost. Why it matters: It shows tiny edge models can deliver serious multimodal intelligence on everyday consumer devices.
