MiniCPM-V 2.6

MiniCPM-V 2.6 is the latest and most capable model in the MiniCPM-V series. The model is built on SigLip-400M and Qwen2-7B with a total of 8B parameters. It exhibits a significant performance improvement over MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5, and introduces new features for multi-image and video understanding. Notable features of MiniCPM-V 2.6 include:

• 🔥 Leading Performance. MiniCPM-V 2.6 achieves an average score of 65.2 on the latest version of OpenCompass, a comprehensive evaluation over 8 popular benchmarks. With only 8B parameters, it surpasses widely used proprietary models like GPT-4o mini, GPT-4V, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet for single image understanding.

• 🖼️ Multi Image Understanding and In-context Learning. MiniCPM-V 2.6 can also perform conversation and reasoning over multiple images. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on popular multi-image benchmarks such as Mantis-Eval, BLINK, Mathverse mv and Sciverse mv, and also shows promising in-context learning capability.

• 🎬 Video Understanding. MiniCPM-V 2.6 can also accept video inputs, performing conversation and providing dense captions for spatial-temporal information. It outperforms GPT-4V, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and LLaVA-NeXT-Video-34B on Video-MME with/without subtitles.

• 💪 Strong OCR Capability and Others. MiniCPM-V 2.6 can process images with any aspect ratio and up to 1.8 million pixels (e.g., 1344x1344). It achieves state-of-the-art performance on OCRBench, surpassing proprietary models such as GPT-4o, GPT-4V, and Gemini 1.5 Pro. Based on the the latest RLAIF-V and VisCPM techniques, it features trustworthy behaviors, with significantly lower hallucination rates than GPT-4o and GPT-4V on Object HalBench, and supports multilingual capabilities on English, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Korean, etc.

• 🚀 Superior Efficiency. In addition to its friendly size, MiniCPM-V 2.6 also shows state-of-the-art token density (i.e., number of pixels encoded into each visual token). It produces only 640 tokens when processing a 1.8M pixel image, which is 75% fewer than most models. This directly improves the inference speed, first-token latency, memory usage, and power consumption. As a result, MiniCPM-V 2.6 can efficiently support real-time video understanding on end-side devices such as iPad.

• 💫 Easy Usage. MiniCPM-V 2.6 can be easily used in various ways: (1) llama.cpp and ollama support for efficient CPU inference on local devices, (2) int4 and GGUF format quantized models in 16 sizes, (3) vLLM support for high-throughput and memory-efficient inference, (4) fine-tuning on new domains and tasks, (5) quick local WebUI demo setup with Gradio and (6) online web demo.

Evaluation

Single image results on OpenCompass, MME, MMVet, OCRBench, MMMU, MathVista, MMB, AI2D, TextVQA, DocVQA, HallusionBench, Object HalBench:

^* We evaluate this benchmark using chain-of-thought prompting.

⁺ Token Density: number of pixels encoded into each visual token at maximum resolution, i.e., # pixels at maximum resolution / # visual tokens.

Note: For proprietary models, we calculate token density based on the image encoding charging strategy defined in the official API documentation, which provides an upper-bound estimation.
