How to use openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B") messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}, ] pipe(messages)# Load model directly from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B") model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B", device_map="auto") messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}, ] inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt", ).to(model.device) outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40) print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:])) - Notebooks

Thanks for the report! We can't reproduce this from the screenshot alone — could you add:
The input — the full prompt / raw conversation text (most important)
Inference framework and version (vLLM / llama.cpp / transformers ...)
Sampling params (temperature, top_p, repetition_penalty, ...)
Whether you're using the original weights or a quantized build
That would let us reproduce and dig in much faster. Thanks!
Weights: Quantized build — official openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B-GGUF, Q8_0 (2,679,710,688 bytes, downloaded via hf-mirror 2026-09-10)
Framework & version: llama.cpp fork XHToken/llama.cpp @ commit 4a3635c (built 2026-09-04, CUDA 12.8, llama-server built-in HTTP API; binary self-reports 0.1.2-dev build 4a3635c). Not mainline llama.cpp, not vLLM.
Launch flags:
llama-server -m MiniCPM5-2B-Q8_0.gguf -a MiniCPM5-2B \
--host 0.0.0.0 --port 8893 -c 131072 \
-ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 -fa on -ngl 999
Hardware: NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB (full offload), host inference.
Sampling params: Client (ZCode IDE agent) defaults for creative story continuation — temperature ~0.7–1.0, top_p ~0.95, no repetition/frequency penalty set (exact client values to be confirmed on my side). enable_thinking not explicitly passed (template default).
Input: Chinese creative story continuation request (long-form open-ended generation; protagonist “小李”, motif “小铃铛”). Full raw prompt available from the reporter if needed.
Symptom: After several hundred tokens of coherent story text, output degenerates into an endless repetition loop — the phrase “树上挂着铃铛,” repeated hundreds of times until max_tokens cap (see attached screenshot). Task category: Chinese creative long-form generation. Structured short tasks (extraction/summarization/tool-calls) on the same deployment did NOT show this.
