Name: LFM3 by Liquid AI
Author: Liquid AI

LFM3 is Liquid AI's new family of six open-weight models around 2B parameters (text, vision, audio, omni and two decision models) built on one shared backbone, with a text model that has a 256K context window and fits in about 1 GB at 4-bit.

Why it matters

For developers who want capable AI agents running on phones, laptops, edge devices or robots instead of the cloud. The models are small enough to run locally and to fine-tune on a single GPU for a specific job.

Highlights

Six 2B-class models (text, vision, audio, omni and two decision models) all branched from LFM3-1.7B-Base, pre-trained on 22T tokens.
LFM3-1.7B is post-trained for agent harnesses such as Hermes Agent, Pi and OpenClaw, with a 256K-token context window.
Liquid AI says LFM3-1.7B outperforms its earlier LFM2.5-2.6B with 35% fewer parameters, and is about 25% faster than LFM2-1.2B with 8K tokens in context.unverified
Day-one support for llama.cpp, MLX and vLLM, plus launch partners including AMD, Arm, Intel (OpenVINO), NVIDIA, OpenRouter, Qualcomm and Vercel.
Every model can be fine-tuned on a single GPU; cookbook notebooks are on GitHub.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Try it if: You're building an agent or app that needs to run offline on a phone, laptop or device, and you're willing to fine-tune a small model for it.

Worth knowing: Companies at or above $10M in annual revenue aren't licensed for commercial use under the LFM Open License. Benchmark results are Liquid AI's own.
