MiniCPM-o 4.5: Offline inference
Two-stage pipeline: thinker (multimodal understanding) → talker + Token2Wav
(24 kHz speech). Deploy config auto-loads from
vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5.yaml (2-GPU default).
Setup
- Install talker deps:
pip install stepaudio2-minicpmo --trust-remote-codeis always passed byend2end.py(required for MiniCPMO)- See pipeline and deploy configuration docs for memory tuning
Run examples
Single prompt
cd examples/offline_inference/minicpmo
bash run_single_prompt.sh
Multiple prompts
bash run_multiple_prompts.sh
Thinker tensor parallel (3-GPU)
bash run_single_prompt_tp.sh
Modality control
Text-only (skip talker / no <|tts_bos|>):
python end2end.py --query-type use_audio --modalities text
Text + speech (default — appends <|tts_bos|>):
python end2end.py --query-type text --modalities text,audio
Local media files
python end2end.py --query-type use_video --video-path /path/to/video.mp4
python end2end.py --query-type use_image --image-path /path/to/image.jpg
python end2end.py --query-type use_audio --audio-path /path/to/audio.wav
python end2end.py --query-type use_mixed_modalities \
--video-path /path/to/video.mp4 \
--image-path /path/to/image.jpg \
--audio-path /path/to/audio.wav
Supported --query-type values:
| Query type | Inputs |
|---|---|
text |
Text only |
use_image |
Image + text |
use_audio |
Audio + text |
use_video |
Video + text |
use_multi_audios |
Two audio clips |
use_mixed_modalities |

Custom deploy config
python end2end.py --query-type text \
--deploy-config /path/to/vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml
Notes
- Speech requires
<|tts_bos|>on the assistant prefix (offline equivalent of onlinechat_template_kwargs.use_tts_template=true). Without it, the talker gets an empty TTS span. - Output WAV is 24 kHz mono.
- Placeholders in the prompt are MiniCPM-style:
(<image>./</image>),(<audio>./</audio>),(<video>./</video>). - Default layout needs 2 GPUs. Async chunking is off in the bundled YAMLs.
