+# MiniCPM3
+In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations on MiniCPM3 models on [Intel GPUs](../../../README.md). For illustration purposes, we utilize the [openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B) as a reference MiniCPM3 model.
+
+## 0. Requirements
+To run these examples with IPEX-LLM on Intel GPUs, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to [here](../../../README.md#requirements) for more information.
+
+## Example: Predict Tokens using `generate()` API
+In the example [generate.py](./generate.py), we show a basic use case for a MiniCPM3 model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with IPEX-LLM INT4 optimizations on Intel GPUs.
+### 1. Install
+#### 1.1 Installation on Linux
+We suggest using conda to manage environment:
+```bash
+conda create -n llm python=3.11
+conda activate llm
+# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
+pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
+
+pip install jsonschema datamodel_code_generator
+```
+
+#### 1.2 Installation on Windows
+We suggest using conda to manage environment:
+```bash
+conda create -n llm python=3.11 libuv
+conda activate llm
+
+# below command will install intel_extension_for_pytorch==2.1.10+xpu as default
+pip install --pre --upgrade ipex-llm[xpu] --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
+
+pip install jsonschema datamodel_code_generator
+```
+
+### 2. Configures OneAPI environment variables for Linux
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Skip this step if you are running on Windows.
+
+This is a required step on Linux for APT or offline installed oneAPI. Skip this step for PIP-installed oneAPI.
+
+```bash
+source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Runtime Configurations
+For optimal performance, it is recommended to set several environment variables. Please check out the suggestions based on your device.
+#### 3.1 Configurations for Linux
+
+
+For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics and Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series
+
+```bash
+export USE_XETLA=OFF
+export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
+export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+For Intel Data Center GPU Max Series
+
+```bash
+export LD_PRELOAD=${LD_PRELOAD}:${CONDA_PREFIX}/lib/libtcmalloc.so
+export SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_IMMEDIATE_COMMANDLISTS=1
+export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
+export ENABLE_SDP_FUSION=1
+```
+> Note: Please note that `libtcmalloc.so` can be installed by `conda install -c conda-forge -y gperftools=2.10`.
+
+
+
+
+For Intel iGPU
+
+```bash
+export SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
+export BIGDL_LLM_XMX_DISABLED=1
+```
+
+
+
+#### 3.2 Configurations for Windows
+
+
+For Intel iGPU
+
+```cmd
+set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
+set BIGDL_LLM_XMX_DISABLED=1
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+For Intel Arc™ A-Series Graphics
+
+```cmd
+set SYCL_CACHE_PERSISTENT=1
+```
+
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For the first time that each model runs on Intel iGPU/Intel Arc™ A300-Series or Pro A60, it may take several minutes to compile.
+### 4. Running examples
+
+```
+python ./generate.py --prompt 'What is AI?'
+```
+
+Arguments info:
+- `--repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH`: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the MiniCPM3 model (e.g. `openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B`) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B'`.
+- `--prompt PROMPT`: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). It is default to be `'What is AI?'`.
+- `--n-predict N_PREDICT`: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be `32`.
+
+#### Sample Output
+#### [openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM3-4B)
+```log
