Request for access to OpenBMB MiniCPM-V-2_6 for research & local experimentation
Hello OpenBMB team
My name is [Your Name or HF username], and I’m writing to kindly request access to the MiniCPM-V-2_6 model. I am an independent developer/researcher working on a local multimodal research and demo project focused on image+text understanding and accessibility tools. I plan to run the model only on my personal workstation for experimentation, integration testing, and performance evaluation (no commercial distribution or public hosting).
My intended uses include:
testing model multimodal capabilities on small custom datasets,
building a private demo to study model behaviour and limitations, and
developing prototypes that improve accessibility (e.g., image descriptions) and academic experiments.
Technical details about my environment: I will use the model locally within a Python virtual environment, and I understand the resource requirements and licensing obligations. I will not distribute the weights, and I will comply with any terms you set (including attribution and usage restrictions). If you require additional information (institution, more detailed project plan, or intended evaluation metrics), I’m happy to provide it.
Thank you for considering my request I greatly appreciate the work you’ve put into this model and would be careful and respectful in using it. Please let me know if you have any conditions or questions.
