MiniCPM5-2B vs OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT

MiniCPM5-2B 90

Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added. Runtimes 25, the cap, since the model is a stock Llama and vLLM, SGLang, released Transformers, a released llama.cpp and Ollama all run it. Builds 15, OpenBMB ships GGUF at three precisions plus MLX and GPTQ 4-bit. Terms 10, the LICENSE is plain Apache 2.0 but the card prohibits jailbreaking and injection testing and limits use to ethical purposes, which reads as a use policy on top (dated 21 October 2026). Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, OpenBMB has no API for it, no inference provider is listed on its Hugging Face page and OpenRouter doesn't carry it.

OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 50

Memory 10, the publisher's only build is the BF16 safetensors, 62.55 GB for the 15 shards the index names, and 62.55 GB × 1.2 = 75.1 GB, above 64 GB and inside the reference machine's GPU share. Runtimes 15, the architecture is Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration, which vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23 and Transformers 5.22.2 run from the safetensors files, three at 5 each. Builds 0, the publisher ships the BF16 weights only. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the card's metadata, an OSI licence, with nothing added on the card. Download 10, gated is false on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account or terms. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps one inference provider, Featherless AI (live), short of the two the line needs. 10 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 50.

MiniCPM5-2B 92

Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off. Training data 20, all eight training datasets are published on Hugging Face and named per stage with sizes. Last change 15, a template fix on 29 September 2026, 36 days ago, with nothing newer in OpenBMB's MiniCPM5 repositories on Hugging Face (builds last changed 12 September) or its GitHub repository (21 September). Responsiveness 20, OpenBMB members answered 16 of the 23 questions in the discussions, the newest reply on 29 September. Version policy 10, earlier models and checkpoints sit in their own repositories and the GitHub changelog dates each release. File health 10, config, tokenizer, template and card agree and no broken-file report waited on 21 October, though OpenBMB's GGUF, MLX and GPTQ repositories still carry the template from before the 29 September fix.

OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 74

Model card 14, Intended use, a long limitations section, the architecture and training method, the parameters (31B) and the language (English) are on the card. Training data 15, the card names the sources (3GPP, ETSI, ITU, GSMA, CAMARA, O-RAN and TM Forum material provided by GSMA), the overall sizes (15 billion raw tokens, over 1 trillion processed, about 440 billion used), the mix of example types and the processing tool, and lists what was left out. Last change 20, the last commit, on 1 November 2026, updated the card's links, resources, citation and contacts, nine days before this check. Responsiveness 20, Of the 3 discussions that aren't pull requests (7 August to 28 October 2026), 2 have a reply from the repository's owner, which is most. Version policy 0, the weights were replaced in place: uploads on 27 July, 3 August and 1 September 2026 under one name, with a standing notice on the card that they may change and that users should pin a revision, and no dated note of what changed. File health 5, the card describes 15 shards of about 62.6 GB while the repository still holds an earlier 14-shard set beside them, 126.8 GB in all. 14 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 0 + 5 = 74.

MiniCPM5-2B 75

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card and OpenBMB's cookbooks document the XML call format, the tools request and the minicpm5 parser in SGLang and vLLM. Trained tool calling 20, agent SFT on 500K samples and a template that renders several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, nothing documents asking for JSON. Reasoning control 0, a judgement call, because OpenBMB's own cookbooks call Think the only supported mode for the 2B even though the template accepts enable_thinking false. Context 10, 131,072 tokens native with no rope scaling.

OTel-2.0-LLM-31B-IT 60

Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository, 19,300 characters, the publisher's own. Tool-calling format 10, only the template says how tools are declared and how calls come back. Trained tool calling 20, the template loops over tool_calls, so it renders several calls in one turn, and the card says the training mix included general-purpose agentic tool-calling examples, while none were specific to telecoms. Structured output 0, the card doesn't document JSON or JSON Schema output. Reasoning control 0, the card says the model wasn't trained to produce or consume Gemma's thought channel and answers directly, so there is no thinking to switch or budget. Context 10, 262,144 positions in the text config, the base's native context. 20 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.
