MiniCPM-V 4.7
ModelBest · 35B total / 3B active (MoE) + 1B edge tier
The veteran of open edge multimodal models
ModelBest’s August 2026 MiniCPM-V update, with a 35B-A3B main tier plus a 1B edge tier under Apache-2.0: documents 88, Chinese 88, ecosystem 92 and a composite of 81.8. Video 76, agents 72 and generation 70 show it remains an edge image-text assistant, not a cloud multimodal workhorse.

Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- A 1B edge tier plus a 35B-A3B main tier in one family.
- Chinese 88 and documents 88 are enough for offline receipts and gallery understanding.
- Ecosystem 92: model cards, quantisation scripts and edge tooling are complete.
Limitations
- Video 76 and agents 72: long video and automation are not strengths.
- Generation 70: not for image creation.
- Complex charts and handwritten receipts still lose points.
