Introducing MiniCPM-V 4.5: GPT-4o-Level Video Understanding Now on WaveSpeedAI

The multimodal AI landscape just got a major upgrade. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of MiniCPM-V 4.5, the latest and most capable model in the MiniCPM-V series—a groundbreaking multimodal large language model that delivers GPT-4o-level performance for video understanding, image analysis, and document parsing. Whether you’re building intelligent video analysis pipelines, extracting insights from complex documents, or creating next-generation visual AI assistants, MiniCPM-V 4.5 brings unprecedented capabilities to your applications.

What is MiniCPM-V 4.5?

MiniCPM-V 4.5 is an efficient end-side multimodal large language model (MLLM) developed by OpenBMB that accepts images, videos, and text as inputs while delivering high-quality text outputs. Built on Qwen3-8B and SigLIP2-400M architectures, this 8B parameter model achieves something remarkable: it outperforms GPT-4o-latest, Gemini-2.0 Pro, and even Qwen2.5-VL 72B in vision-language capabilities—despite being a fraction of their size.

The model represents a significant leap forward in making powerful multimodal AI accessible and efficient. With an average score of 77.0 on OpenCompass across 8 popular benchmarks, MiniCPM-V 4.5 stands as the most performant on-device multimodal model in the open-source community.

Key Features and Capabilities

Revolutionary 3D-Resampler Architecture

MiniCPM-V 4.5 introduces a breakthrough 3D-Resampler technology that overcomes the traditional performance-efficiency trade-off in video understanding. By grouping and jointly compressing up to 6 consecutive video frames into just 64 tokens, the model achieves an impressive 96× compression rate for video tokens. This means you can process more video frames without the additional computational overhead—enabling high-FPS (up to 10 FPS) and long video understanding at unprecedented efficiency.

State-of-the-Art Video Understanding

The model delivers exceptional performance across major video benchmarks:

• Video-MME: State-of-the-art among models under 30B parameters, using just 46.7% GPU memory and 8.7% inference time compared to Qwen2.5-VL 7B
• LVBench & MLVU: Competitive long video understanding capabilities
• MotionBench & FavorBench: Excellent high frame rate and fine-grained action dynamics recognition

Hybrid Fast/Deep Thinking Mode

MiniCPM-V 4.5 supports both fast thinking for efficient everyday usage and deep thinking for complex problem-solving scenarios. This controllable hybrid approach lets you optimize for your specific use case—whether you need rapid responses for real-time applications or thorough analysis for detailed tasks.

Industry-Leading OCR and Document Parsing

Leveraging the LLaVA-UHD architecture, MiniCPM-V 4.5 processes high-resolution images up to 1.8 million pixels (1344×1344) at any aspect ratio while using 4× fewer visual tokens than most MLLMs. On OCRBench, it surpasses both GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5, and ranks highest for document parsing on OmniDocBench.

Reduced Hallucinations

Using Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF-V), MiniCPM-V 4.5 significantly reduces hallucination risks. On MMHal-Bench, the model outperforms GPT-4o in producing trustworthy responses—critical for production applications where accuracy matters.

Multilingual Support

With support for 30+ languages, MiniCPM-V 4.5 enables globally accessible multimodal applications that can understand and generate text across linguistic boundaries while seamlessly incorporating visual information.
