MiniCPM5-1B from OpenBMB has set a new state-of-the-art for compact open models designed for edge deployment. With just 1 billion parameters, it delivers competitive multimodal performance that could reshape how AI runs on phones, laptops, and IoT devices.
Meta AI has released EUPE, a compact vision encoder family that stays under 100 million parameters while matching specialist models across image classification, dense prediction, and vision-language tasks. The release could reshape how computer vision is deployed on edge devices, from smartphones to AR glasses.
