Instructions to use openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

vLLM

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B

SGLang

How to use openbmb/MiniCPM4.1-8B with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

 ### Hybird Reasoning Mode
-MiniCPM4.1 supports hybrid reasoning mode, which can be used in both deep reasoning mode and non-reasoning mode. To enable hybrid reasoning mode. User can set `enable_thinking=True` in `tokenizer.apply_chat_template` to enable hybrid reasoning mode, and set `enable_thinking=False` to enable non-reasoning mode. Similarly, user can directly add `\no_think` at the end of the query to enable non-reasoning mode. If not add any special token or add `\think` at the end of the query, the model will enable reasoning mode.
 ```python
 # Enable reasoning mode
