Summary

Extend the existing MiniCPM5 text-generation path to MiniCPM5-2B, with a size-specific runtime configuration and KAI W4A32 conversion recipe. Preserve MiniCPM5-1B support and reject mismatched model/config pairs before generation.

Reviewer focus: this is a model-size extension, not a new kernel or runtime refactor. The model graph, registered operations and IR identities, native KV-head GQA, tokenizer implementation, and runtime threading are unchanged.

Size-specific contract

Property Existing 1B New 2B
Transformer layers 24 42
Hidden width 1536 2048
FFN width 4608 6144
Q / KV heads 16 / 2 16 / 2
Explicit head dimension 128 128
FP32 K+V capacity at 2048 tokens 96 MiB 168 MiB

Both variants retain the untied output head, vocabulary of 130560, RoPE base 5000000, and existing batch-one cache lifecycle. The runtime accepts the two exact dimension tuples, not arbitrary mixtures. Each model owns its cache; request reset clears logical sequence counts, including the 2B model's last slot.

Review map

  1. mllm/models/minicpm5/configuration_minicpm5.hpp: exact variant recognition and model/config compatibility; the previous 1B predicate remains available.
  2. examples/minicpm5/config_2B_w4a32_kai.json and quant_cfg_2B_w4a32_kai.json: 2B geometry and packing selectors for every projection and the output head.
  3. tests/models/minicpm5/: retained 1B coverage, mixed-dimension rejection, cross-size pairing rejection, and last-slot reset for 42 layers.
  4. examples/minicpm5/README.md and runner banner: shared runner usage for both sizes.

Validation

Commit 7a8a79ff9c71c88037d84d3ca60fcfb8fa6a4409, based on
033d5cd4805383ea9a3d68fe3c162ee0e689887a. H20 focused tests,
Android cross-build, checkpoint conversion audits, and OnePlus generation/reset
checks passed on the submitted source. Upstream CI and human review remain
pending. Default decoding stability remains unresolved, as detailed below.

Validation matrix — builds, conversion, reference and device checks
Evidence Status Boundary
H20 Linux build and focused tests PASS 3 test executables / 11 cases; official tokenizer and 200-token fixture enabled
H20 Android NDK cross-build PASS AArch64 runner, libraries and focused tests
OnePlus 13T focused tests PASS Configuration, tokenizer, and both cache-reset cases; repaired test uses one runtime initialization per suite
Pinned checkpoint download PASS Full-file SHA-256 verified locally
Real checkpoint inventory and conversion PASS 381 tensors, 295 quantized tensors; all selectors covered and shapes match
Converted descriptor bounds PASS 2,342,960,628-byte v2 artifact; complete names, shapes of FP32 tensors, and non-overlapping in-file ranges
H20 official BF16 reference generation PASS Exact 200-token input; two independent 32-token continuations match; not quantized parity
Existing 1B device generation PASS New runtime answers the capital-of-France prompt with Paris.
2B full-model generation and repeated requests PASS OnePlus answers Paris.; all six default demo requests produce identical token IDs after reset
200-input / 32-output device characterization Measured; unstable default decoding See absolute results below; no speedup claim

Device characterization — absolute results, not a speedup claim

OnePlus 13T / Android 16, KAI W4A32, exactly 200 input and 32 generated tokens
(31 measured decode steps), one warmup plus five measured requests in one
loaded process. Four CPU operation threads; four dispatcher threads requested,
but the runtime warns that its dispatcher pool cannot be reset. Model loading
is excluded. Affinity, frequency and thermal telemetry are retained without
sample exclusion; the device's power policy was not modified.

Execution setting Median prefill (tokens/s) Median decode (tokens/s) Decode range (tokens/s)
Default OpenMP wait policy 105.24 4.30 4.21–21.12
OMP_WAIT_POLICY=PASSIVE diagnostic 111.46 9.56 9.49–9.63

Default decoding is unstable and its cause remains unresolved. The passive
setting is a separate, non-interleaved environment diagnostic using unchanged
model/runtime bytes, not an attributed improvement or a new runtime default.
Both runs produce identical token IDs across all requests. All original samples
are retained. These results do not establish a stable
maximum throughput or a comparison against MiniCPM5-1B.

200-token demo output and default latency samples

Fixture: examples/minicpm5/demo_prompt_200.txt, a Chinese request for an
offline mobile-assistant design and a reproducible validation checklist.
The fixed 32-token continuation is intentionally truncated:

总体思路:基于离线大语言模型(LLM)结合检索增强生成(RAG)技术,在设备内存和网络受限条件下实现本地化

The official BF16 reference produces a different continuation; quantized
reference-logit parity is not claimed.

Default prefill latency: median 1900.49 ms, request-level nearest-rank p95
2310.25 ms. Decode TPOT: median 232.50 ms, p95 237.68 ms.
All five default decode rates: 4.301, 21.125, 4.207, 4.248, 4.428 tokens/s.

Supported scope and limits

  • Batch-one text generation with the existing single-user, optional-system, no-tool template and thinking toggle; no new multi-turn history or tool-calling support.
  • The mobile configuration limits the cache to 2048 tokens. The upstream 131072-position configuration is not a mobile long-context qualification.
  • KAI W4A32 linear weights with the existing FP32 embedding/norm path. No new quantization format, operator, kernel, or paged-attention implementation.
  • Generated text will be reported as generation evidence, not PPL, broad model quality, or reference-logit parity. Those quality measurements have not been run.
  • Device timings are absolute characterization on OnePlus 13T, not a speedup claim against 1B or any unmatched run; default decoding stability needs follow-up.
Checkpoint and cache audit details

Pinned checkpoint revision: 0e9c66dce9fedde5ba8663bbcdd54b6810bb929a.

Safetensors SHA-256: 14fb8e7f0a18d53d1f239773758bf581cee7e456a4523a54622c3a245b64402c.

Converted v2 SHA-256: d60111e05bae945ed77bcc88b23bf58b524b2603565ed8ecb99ebb42708a5017.

Final local source manifest: 5bea40894387c2dd189bcc6f701adc6f6ea8e34fff0e499d7ce10a6c8c277c24.
The Android runner and libraries predate only the test-fixture repair and addition
of the converter-only DLPack dependency; their owning source is unchanged.

Cache capacity is 2 × layers × 2 KV heads × 2048 tokens × 128 dimensions × 4 bytes; it excludes weights, workspace, and allocator overhead.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7a8a7

This change adds MiniCPM5-2B ARM CPU support while retaining 1B compatibility and rejecting mixed model/config pairs. The remaining risk is limited to undocumented public configuration helpers, which may hinder correct library use but does not indicate a runtime failure.

Document the new public contract helpers.

matchesOfficialMiniCPM5RuntimeContract and matchesOfficialMiniCPM5_1BRuntimeContract are exposed from a public header without comments. Document the supported variant, the MiniCPM5Config parameter, the boolean return value, and that these predicates do not throw.

As per coding guidelines, public APIs, classes, and functions in mllm/**/*.hpp must have clear docstrings or comments explaining purpose, parameters, returns, and errors.
