MiniCPM-o 4.5 brings full-duplex live streaming to 9B open-source AI
OpenBMB just rolled out MiniCPM-o 4.5, a 9B omnimodal model that sees, listens, and speaks simultaneously in real time. Thanks to an end-to-end full-duplex design, it doesn't just wait its turn—it monitors inputs at 1Hz and can proactively interrupt with reminders. It matches Gemini 2.5 Flash on key multimodal tasks while running locally on a Mac or single GPU.
