MiniCPM-V-4.7-35B-A3B
OpenBMB's 35B MoE vision-language model — 3B active params, on-device speed, #2 on Hugging Face trending.
About
MiniCPM-V-4.7-35B-A3B is OpenBMB's first mixture-of-experts entry in the MiniCPM-V series: 35B total parameters with only 3B active per token. It handles single images, multi-image inputs, and video understanding, and its headline claim is on-device MoE inference — 13+ tokens per second on an iPhone 17 Pro Max via a technique called Lookahead Expert Scheduling (provider-claimed). The weights are open under the Apache-2.0 lineage license. It sits at #2 on Hugging Face trending with 17.6k downloads, positioned as a new efficiency frontier for vision-language models that run on consumer hardware rather than datacenter GPUs.

Benchmarks
Positioned as a performance-efficiency Pareto frontier for on-device VLMs (provider-claimed); 13+ tok/s on iPhone 17 Pro Max. Independent benchmark replication pending.
Provider-reported unless a source says otherwise. Benchmarks are marketing-adjacent by nature — treat them as directional.
Use cases
Trust score — 5/10
Scored 7/10 (METRICS tier, metrics-v1). Evidence: OpenBMB has a multi-year MiniCPM track record, the Apache-2.0 lineage license is genuinely permissive, and #2 on HF trending with 17.6k downloads shows real pull. Docked for: (1) the iPhone throughput and Pareto-frontier claims are provider-reported with no independent replication yet; (2) as a fresh release, long-term maintenance cadence is unproven; (3) benchmark coverage is thinner than established VLM families. License: Apache-2.0 lineage.
