Liquid AI's vision model gets a speed boost of up to 3.13 times with no change to what it says
A 280-million-parameter add-on lets LFM2.5-VL-3B generate text up to 3.13 times faster on Apple silicon, leaving output word-for-word identical.
A Tiny AI Model Just Got a Big Boost With 100 Training Steps and a Free GPU
A new public guide shows how to make a small language model noticeably better at following output instructions, using only free computing tools and about 500 training examples.
Liquid AI's New Draft Models Make Its LFMs Up to 3.2x Faster, No Quality Trade-off
A technique called speculative decoding lets a small helper model do the heavy lifting so the main model just checks the work. The result: dramatically faster output on everything from a data-centre GPU to a MacBook.
Liquid AI Squeezes Its Small Models onto Phones and Raspberry Pis Without Losing Much Quality
A new training trick called Quantization-Aware Distillation lets Liquid AI's compact language models run on cheap hardware while keeping 97% of their full-precision accuracy.
Liquid AI's new 2.6B model runs AI agents directly on your laptop or phone
LFM2.5-2.6B is a compact AI model that can handle multi-step tasks without sending your data to the cloud, and it competes with models four times its size on key benchmarks.
Liquid AI releases two lean encoder models that read long documents fast, even on a laptop
LFM2.5-Encoder-230M and LFM2.5-Encoder-350M can scan an entire contract in under 30 seconds on ordinary computer hardware, no specialist chip required.
