Best sub-30B vision-language model with 10FPS video understanding
openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4_5mixpeek://image_extractor@v1/openbmb_minicpm_v45_v1Overview
MiniCPM-V 4.5 is an 8B-parameter vision-language model that achieves 77.0 on OpenCompass, surpassing GPT-4o and models 10x its size. Built on Qwen3-8B with SigLIP2-400M as the vision encoder, it processes images and video with a 96x video token compression scheme that enables understanding video at 10 frames per second -- fast enough for near-real-time scene captioning.
The model excels at detailed scene description, OCR, chart understanding, and multi-image reasoning, making it a strong choice for video decomposition pipelines where each scene needs a rich caption.
Architecture
Qwen3-8B language model + SigLIP2-400M vision encoder. 96x video token compression enables 10FPS video processing. Supports multiple images and video frames in a single forward pass.
