Install MiniCPM-V Apps

English | 中文

Pre-built apps for iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS are listed below. All three apps run the MiniCPM-V multimodal model fully on-device via llama.cpp — no remote server, no data leaves your phone.

🍎 iOS — TestFlight

NOTE: iOS ships slower than Android / HarmonyOS. Every iOS build must clear Apple's TestFlight review before reaching users, so new features and bug fixes on iOS typically land several days to a couple of weeks behind the Android APK and HarmonyOS HAP releases. If you need the latest fix immediately, please use the Android or HarmonyOS package on this page.

Requirements

  • iPhone or iPad running iOS / iPadOS 16 or later
  • Device with ≥ 6 GB RAM recommended (e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, or iPad with an M-series chip) for smooth on-device inference
  • The TestFlight app installed from the App Store

How to install

  1. Install TestFlight from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Open the public link above on the same device, then tap AcceptInstall.
  3. Launch MiniCPM-V Demo from the Home Screen and follow the in-app prompts to download the model files.

Each TestFlight build is valid for up to 90 days. When a new build is published, TestFlight will notify you automatically.
