MiniCPM-o 4.5

ModelBest · 9B dense

A 9B omni-modal edge assistant

A 9B omni-modal model from ModelBest released in May 2026 under Apache-2.0: text, image, video and audio input, ecosystem 92, Chinese 86 and a composite of 76.7. It suits edge speech-plus-vision assistants; documents 78, agents 65 and generation 72 sit only near the usable line.

Bottom line

For edge voice assistants, accessibility and offline multimodal QA, MiniCPM-o 4.5’s “9B omni-modal plus Apache-2.0” is practical. Do not treat it as a document or agent model; its value is putting microphone, camera and screen into one small model.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Four input modalities at 9B is a rare option for edge speech-plus-vision assistants.
  • Ecosystem 92: edge tooling and quantisation scripts are mature.
  • Chinese 86 keeps everyday conversation natural.

Limitations

  • Documents 78 and charts 70: not enough for complex image-text work.
  • Agents 65 and generation 72: neither automation nor creation is a strength.
  • Perception 80: fine-grained recognition clearly trails specialists.

Price and real cost

List price

—N/A
