A Gradio demo from openbmb where you try the MiniCPM5-2B language model in a browser, or run a copy of the app yourself with Python 3.12. MiniCPM5 2B Demo is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by openbmb ## About ### What it is MiniCPM5 2B Demo is a Gradio app from openbmb that lets you try the MiniCPM5-2B language model without setting up the model yourself. The repository holds the app code, a page file, an assets folder and a file named utils\_chatbot.py. ### Who it suits It suits people who want a quick feel for a small language model before they commit to using it. Who might use this demo | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Machine learning | Researchers | Try the model before downloading its weights | Send it a short question in the browser | | Software | Developers | Judge whether a 2B model fits a feature they have in mind | Test a prompt close to what their app would send | | Education | Students | See how a small chat model answers | Ask the same question twice and compare the replies | If you need a hosted API or a fine-tuning setup, you can skip it, since the notes describe neither. ### Where to use it You can use it online or on your own machine. - Web browser: the Space's page on Hugging Face, with nothing to install - Windows, macOS or Linux: a local copy that runs on Python 3.12 - Hugging Face Spaces: where the hosted demo runs, on the zero-a10g hardware tier What the demo is good for | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Try the model online | Anyone curious | A reply from MiniCPM5-2B to a message you send | | Run your own copy | Developers | The demo app running on their own computer | | Compare prompts | Researchers | Replies to prompts worded in different ways | ### How to set it up The hosted demo needs nothing. A local copy needs Python 3.12 and pip. - Python 3.12, with pip - The Python packages that requirements.txt lists 1. Install the huggingface\_hub package. 2. Download the Space's files into a folder. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Install Gradio 6.14.0. 5. Install the packages from requirements.txt. 6. Start the app with Python. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B-Demo --repo-type space --local-dir MiniCPM5-2B-Demo cd MiniCPM5-2B-Demo pip install gradio==6.14.0 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Open the Space online, or start your copy with the command below. Then use the page to send the model a message and read its reply. ```sh python app.py ``` The files you will meet | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | app.py | Starts the Gradio page when you run it with Python | | utils\_chatbot.py | Helper code for the chat side of the app, going by its name | | requirements.txt | Lists the Python packages the app needs | ### Example You open the Space and ask, "Explain what a vector database is in two sentences." The MiniCPM5-2B model writes a short answer, and it appears on the page. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new to this, open the Space and send one short question. Read the reply before you try anything longer. If you know the field, the demo front end is Gradio 6.14.0 on Python 3.12, and the hosted copy runs on zero-a10g hardware. The notes do not say what a local copy needs for speed, so check the model's own page before you plan a local run. Open the Space or run app.py → You send a message in the page → The MiniCPM5-2B model writes a reply → The reply appears on the page ### Good to know The Space's notes name little beyond the model and the files, so open the page to see its controls. - Hosting: the hosted copy runs on the zero-a10g hardware tier - Local run: the notes do not state any hardware need - License: apache-2 - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the messages you send, plus the Python packages pip installs from requirements.txt ## README ````markdown # MiniCPM5 2B Demo A Gradio demo from openbmb where you try the MiniCPM5-2B language model in a browser, or run a copy of the app yourself with Python 3.12.
