SparkNLP 1004 - Introducing MiniCPM

[prabod]

Description

MiniCPM is a series of edge-side large language models, with the base model, MiniCPM-2B, having 2.4B non-embedding parameters. It ranks closely with Mistral-7B on comprehensive benchmarks (with better performance in Chinese, mathematics, and coding abilities), surpassing models like Llama2-13B, MPT-30B, and Falcon-40B. On the MTBench benchmark, which is closest to user experience, MiniCPM-2B also outperforms many representative open-source models such as Llama2-70B-Chat, Vicuna-33B, Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1, and Zephyr-7B-alpha.
