Playground

MiniCPM-V 4.5 is the latest, most capable MiniCPM-V model for AI video understanding and analysis. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

MiniCPM-V Video is an advanced video understanding model that analyzes video content and generates detailed descriptions, summaries, or answers to your questions. Simply upload a video and let the AI understand what’s happening on screen.

Why It Stands Out

• Video understanding: Analyzes visual content, actions, and scenes in videos.
• Preset prompts: Choose from ready-to-use prompts like “describe” for quick analysis.
• Custom prompts: Ask specific questions or request particular types of analysis.
• Affordable pricing: Get video insights at a low cost per analysis.
• Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to get consistent results.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload your video — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
2. Select a preset prompt — choose “describe” or other available options for quick analysis.
3. Add a custom prompt (optional) — ask specific questions about the video content.
4. Click Run and wait for analysis.
5. Review the output — get detailed descriptions or answers about your video.

Best Use Cases

• Content Analysis — Understand what’s happening in videos without watching them.
• Video Cataloging — Generate descriptions for video libraries and archives.
• Accessibility — Create text descriptions of video content for accessibility purposes.
• Content Moderation — Analyze video content for review and categorization.
• Research & Analysis — Extract insights from video data at scale.
• Social Media — Generate captions and descriptions for video posts.

Pricing

Pro Tips for Best Quality

• Use videos with clear visuals for more accurate analysis.
• Use preset prompts for quick, general descriptions.
• Use custom prompts to ask specific questions like “What objects are in this video?” or “Describe the main action.”
• Keep videos reasonably short for faster processing.
• Fix the seed when you need consistent results across multiple runs.

Notes

• Ensure uploaded video URLs are publicly accessible.
• Processing time varies based on video length and current queue load.
• Please ensure your content complies with usage guidelines.
