AI-compiled from linked model documentation. This is a catalog reference, not an independent performance review. Catalog checked October 23, 2026.

[Exact model](https://headlessthrones.com/models/openbmb-cpm-bee-1b#model-answer-identity) · [Access](https://headlessthrones.com/models/openbmb-cpm-bee-1b#model-answer-access) · [Inputs &amp; outputs](https://headlessthrones.com/models/openbmb-cpm-bee-1b#model-answer-modalities) · [Model details](https://headlessthrones.com/models/openbmb-cpm-bee-1b#model-answer-research) · [Weight details](https://headlessthrones.com/models/openbmb-cpm-bee-1b#model-answer-repository)

### Which cpm-bee-1b does this page describe?

cpm-bee-1b is a model record from **OpenBMB** in the cpm family. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

The recorded model identifier or checkpoint is `cpm-bee-1b`. Use that exact identifier when checking documentation or a provider listing. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

### How can you access cpm-bee-1b?

The catalog documents **Open weights** access  for cpm-bee-1b. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

As of the catalog check, this version was listed as available. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Open weights means the model weights are distributed for use under their stated terms. It does not establish a hosted API, an open-source license, or a hardware requirement.

### What can cpm-bee-1b receive and generate?

Documented inputs: **text**. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Documented outputs: **text**. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Input support and output generation are separate capabilities. Reading an image does not establish image generation; a text output listing does not establish speech output. File sizes, formats and media limits depend on the documented implementation.

### What distinguishes cpm-bee-1b?

These details come from the linked publisher material for this model. Reported capabilities and training descriptions are publisher statements, not independent test results.

**Model type**: Autoregressive Transformer base model for Chinese and English. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md)

**Supported workflow**: Raw text generation or fine-tuning to a downstream NLP task. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md)

**Structured generation format**: The exact checkpoint example passes a dictionary with input text and an &lt;ans&gt; answer placeholder to model.generate. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md)

**Fine-tuning workflow**: The publisher recommends bmtrain and also documents accelerate/deepspeed fine-tuning for CPM-Bee. [Source](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md)

### What is documented about the cpm-bee-1b checkpoint?

This evidence refers to `openbmb/cpm-bee-1b` at recorded revision `10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e`, checked October 23, 2026. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Recorded architecture class: `CpmBeeForCausalLM`. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Repository task tag: `text-generation`. A task tag identifies a distribution category; it does not measure performance on that task. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Listed library: `transformers`. Check that library's version and model support before loading the weights. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Repository language labels: en and zh. These labels are not independent evaluations of language quality. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

Repository access gate: `false`. This records the repository's gate setting when checked; licensing and use terms still apply. [Repository metadata](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b)

#### What the configuration file says

The pinned `config.json` contains these values. [Pinned configuration](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/config.json)

`num_attention_heads`: 32

`num_hidden_layers`: 48

`hidden_size`: 4,096

Configuration values describe the checkpoint and its implementation. In particular, max\_position\_embeddings, sliding\_window and rope\_scaling do not independently establish an API context limit, tested usable length or hardware requirement. Runtime, quantization, cache, batch size and input length affect deployment behavior.

Read the retrieved model card for setup and qualifications. [Model card](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md)

**Catalog qualifications:** Official publisher weight listing; availability refers to this distribution, not a guaranteed hosted API. Base, SFT and research variants are identified by their exact published names. [Source 1](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b) · [Source 2](https://huggingface.co/api/models/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b) · [Source 3](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/README.md) · [Source 4](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/cpm-bee-1b/resolve/10369801ffa033b1da19044632dc4017a42fd06e/config.json)

**Evidence still missing here:** context or input capacity, knowledge and training-data cutoffs, and tested hardware requirements. Missing documentation is not evidence that a feature is unavailable.

Headless Thrones has not independently benchmarked this model for this reference. Evaluate it on representative work before choosing it; these facts do not rank its accuracy, reliability, speed or suitability against another model.
