Prices

No source lists a price for this model. It may only run on your own hardware.

Run it on your own hardware

Weights are the sizes of the files a source lists, or an estimate from the parameter count where none does. Memory is an estimate: weights plus KV cache plus 512 MiB and 5 percent of the weights for runtime buffers. Check it against your hardware.

Start it with a local runtime

  • Ollama
    ollama run hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0
  • LM Studio
    lms get NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF
    lms server start
  • llama.cpp server
    llama-server -hf NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0 --jinja
  • vLLM
    vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B
  • SGLang
    sglang serve --model-path openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B --port 30000

Use it from your harness

Set up for Ollama with the model hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0. Each endpoint page has the same setup for its own address.

OpenCode

Put this in opencode.json in your project folder:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "ollama": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Ollama",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0": {
          "name": "MiniCPM5-1B"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • OpenCode reads any OpenAI-compatible address through the @ai-sdk/openai-compatible package, and an address that speaks the Responses API through @ai-sdk/openai.

From OpenCode documentation, read .

Pi

Put this in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:

{
  "providers": {
    "ollama": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:11434/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "ollama",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
  • The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.

From Pi documentation, read .

Codex

Put this in a terminal:

codex --oss --local-provider ollama -m hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0
  • Codex speaks the Responses API only: responses is the one supported wire API of a custom provider. Ollama and LM Studio are built in and start with --oss.

From Codex documentation, read .

Claude Code

Put this in ~/.claude/settings.json, or variables in your shell:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="ollama"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="hf.co/NANI-Nithin/MiniCPM5-1B-GGUF:Q4_0"
claude
  • Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests to ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Anthropic says it does not support routing Claude Code to models other than Claude through any gateway, so some features may not work with another model.

From Claude Code documentation, read .
