How it’s rated

Quality 60Good quality (B) · 60 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 72/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at F16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Other hardware that runs it

Quick answers

How much memory does MiniCPM5 2B need on the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation 32GB?

At F16 it needs about 7.6 GB. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation 32GB has 32.0 GB usable.

How fast is MiniCPM5 2B on the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation 32GB?

About 65.8 tok/s at F16, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of MiniCPM5 2B should I use on the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation 32GB?

F16. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
