LFM2.5-Embedding-350M is a text embedding model from Liquid AI. It produces 1,024-dimensional embeddings for retrieval and semantic search.

Successful OpenRouter requests and embeddings may be retained and used to train Liquid models.

LFM2.5-2.6B is a compact reasoning model from Liquid AI. It is suited for agent workflows, data extraction, RAG, and long-context processing. Liquid advises against using it for agentic coding or knowledge-heavy tasks.

Prompts and outputs may be retained and used to train Liquid models.

LFM2-24B-A2B is the largest model in the LFM2 family of hybrid architectures designed for efficient on-device deployment. Built as a 24B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with only 2B active parameters per token, it delivers high-quality generation while maintaining low inference costs. The model fits within 32 GB of RAM, making it practical to run on consumer laptops and desktops without sacrificing capability.

LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking is a lightweight reasoning-focused model optimized for agentic tasks, data extraction, and RAG—while still running comfortably on edge devices. It supports long context (up to 32K tokens) and is designed to provide higher-quality “thinking” responses in a small 1.2B model.

LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct is a compact, high-performance instruction-tuned model built for fast on-device AI. It delivers strong chat quality in a 1.2B parameter footprint, with efficient edge inference and broad runtime support.

LFM2-8B-A1B is an efficient on-device Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Liquid AI’s LFM2 family, built for fast, high-quality inference on edge hardware. It uses 8.3B total parameters with only ~1.5B active per token, delivering strong performance while keeping compute and memory usage low—making it ideal for phones, tablets, and laptops.

LFM2 is a new generation of hybrid models developed by Liquid AI, specifically designed for edge AI and on-device deployment. It sets a new standard in terms of quality, speed, and memory efficiency.

LFM-7B, a new best-in-class language model. LFM-7B is designed for exceptional chat capabilities, including languages like Arabic and Japanese. Powered by the Liquid Foundation Model (LFM) architecture, it exhibits unique features like low memory footprint and fast inference speed.

LFM-7B is the world’s best-in-class multilingual language model in English, Arabic, and Japanese.
