Liquid AI’s 2.6B LFM Model Lets Edge Devices Run Full‑Scale Agents
Liquid AI released LFM2.5‑2.6B, a 2.6‑billion‑parameter model engineered for on‑device agentic AI. It runs under 2.5 GB RAM, hitting 220 tokens per second on an Apple M5 Max, and outperforms models up to four times its size on tool‑use and multi‑step reasoning benchmarks. This makes local, privacy‑preserving AI agents feasible on consumer hardware.
