## 1. Model Introduction
MiniCPM-V 4.6 is the next-generation multimodal model from [OpenBMB](https://huggingface.co/openbmb), the team behind the MiniCPM-V series. The model combines a **Qwen3.5-style hybrid LLM backbone** (Gated Delta Net + full attention) with a **NaViT-packed vision encoder** that handles arbitrary aspect ratios and high-resolution slicing natively, plus end-to-end video support.
+OpenBMB ships two variants on HuggingFace:
+
+- [`openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6`](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6) — base instruct model. Use this for general multimodal serving; thinking mode is still available per-request via `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=true`.
+- [`openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6-Thinking`](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4.6-Thinking) — thinking-tuned variant with stronger chain-of-thought behavior. Pair with the same `--reasoning-parser qwen3` flag.
+
**Key Features:**
- **Hybrid LLM backbone**: Qwen3.5-style mix of Gated Delta Net (linear-attention) layers and full-attention layers, providing long-context efficiency without giving up modeling power.

- **High-resolution slicing**: Source image plus a configurable grid of slice tiles (up to 9 tiles in the open test variant) lets the model reason over fine detail in 1280×720+ images.
- **Video**: Frame-by-frame multi-modal data items routed through the same vision encoder; any number of frames per request.
- **Reasoning Parser**: switchable thinking mode (Qwen3.5 lineage), exposed via `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking` per request and SGLang's `--reasoning-parser qwen3` on the server side.
-- **Tool Calling**: Qwen 2.5–style `` JSON format, surfaced as OpenAI-compatible `message.tool_calls` via SGLang's `--tool-call-parser qwen`. Composes with thinking mode and with image / video inputs.

-Do **not** use `--tool-call-parser qwen3_coder` for MiniCPM-V 4.6 — even though the Qwen3.5 cookbooks use it. `qwen3_coder` expects an XML-style inner format (`v`), but 4.6 emits Qwen2.5-style JSON (`{"name":..., "arguments":...}`) inside the same `` wrapper.
