mlx_lm.server --model "nikimoriOne/MiniCPM5-1B-Base-8bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "nikimoriOne/MiniCPM5-1B-Base-8bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run Pi

# MiniCPM5-1B-Base, 8-bit MLX

[openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B-Base](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B-Base) converted to MLX with
`mlx_lm.convert -q --q-bits 8 --q-group-size 64` (mlx-lm 0.31.3, affine). The weights are otherwise
unchanged, and the license is the upstream one (Apache-2.0).

Converted for [Pretype](https://github.com/nikiomori/Pretype), on-device autocomplete for macOS, where it
is the fastest completion model. On Pretype's 5,649-row, 17-language autocomplete set it ties the bf16
weights it replaces (first word right on 15% of all rows each; 14 against 21 discordant rows; English
28% of all rows for both), at 1.1 GB instead of 2.0 GB and about 30% less time per suggestion.

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("nikimoriOne/MiniCPM5-1B-Base-8bit")
print(generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="The quick brown fox", max_tokens=20))
```
