FlagOS is a unified heterogeneous computing software stack for large models, co-developed with leading global chip manufacturers. With core technologies such as the FlagScale, together with vllm-plugin-fl, distributed training/inference framework, FlagGems universal operator library, FlagCX communication library, and FlagTree unified compiler, the FlagRelease platform leverages the FlagOS stack to automatically produce and release various combinations of <chip + open-source model>. This enables efficient and automated model migration across diverse chips, opening a new chapter for large model deployment and application.
Based on this, the MiniCPM-o-4.5-metax-FlagOS model is adapted for the Hygon chip using the FlagOS software stack, enabling:
Out-of-the-box inference scripts with pre-configured hardware and software parameters
Released FlagOS-Metax container image supporting deployment within minutes
Consistency Validation
Rigorously evaluated through benchmark testing: Performance and results from the FlagOS software stack are compared against native stacks on multiple public.
Technical Overview
FlagGems
FlagGems is a high-performance, generic operator library implemented in Triton language. It is built on a collection of backend-neutral kernels that aims to accelerate LLM (Large-Language Models) training and inference across diverse hardware platforms.
FlagTree
FlagTree is an open source, unified compiler for multiple AI chips project dedicated to developing a diverse ecosystem of AI chip compilers and related tooling platforms, thereby fostering and strengthening the upstream and downstream Triton ecosystem. Currently in its initial phase, the project aims to maintain compatibility with existing adaptation solutions while unifying the codebase to rapidly implement single-repository multi-backend support. For upstream model users, it provides unified compilation capabilities across multiple backends; for downstream chip manufacturers, it offers examples of Triton ecosystem integration.
FlagScale
FlagScale is a comprehensive toolkit designed to support the entire lifecycle of large models. It builds on the strengths of several prominent open-source projects, including Megatron-LM and vLLM, to provide a robust, end-to-end solution for managing and scaling large models.
FlagCX
FlagCX is a scalable and adaptive cross-chip communication library. It serves as a platform where developers, researchers, and AI engineers can collaborate on various projects, contribute to the development of cutting-edge AI solutions, and share their work with the global community.
FlagEval Evaluation Framework
FlagEval is a comprehensive evaluation system and open platform for large models launched in 2023. It aims to establish scientific, fair, and open benchmarks, methodologies, and tools to help researchers assess model and training algorithm performance. It features:
Multi-dimensional Evaluation: Supports 800+ model evaluations across NLP, CV, Audio, and Multimodal fields, covering 20+ downstream tasks including language understanding and image-text generation.
Industry-Grade Use Cases: Has completed horizontal evaluations of mainstream large models, providing authoritative benchmarks for chip-model performance validation.
Evaluation Results
In the following table, +x means FlagOS performs better than CUDA with x accuracy score, while -x means CUDA performs better. For FlagEval's benchmarks avg@1, +-5.00 means there's no significant difference between two AI-ecosystems.

Accuracy Difference between using FLAGOS and Metax on Nvidia-CUDA
MiniCPM-o-4.5 is a model that supports Omni-input and offers a wide range of usage scenarios. FlagRelease only provides migration results of the FlagOS software ecosystem across various chips and does not impose any restrictions on how users choose to utilize the model. You are encouraged to refer to the official OpenBMB README for flexible and comprehensive usage guidance. That said, we do provide a basic example: performing video-based question answering with spoken audio output.
