LFM2.5

Hi everyone!

Been following Liquid AI for quite a while, and their unwavering commitment to on-device models has always been impressive. Seeing them launch LFM2.5 alongside AMD at CES feels like a definitive milestone, it perfectly integrates into the new wave of AI PCs.

Fitting a full modal stack (Text, Vision, Audio) into the 1B parameter range is a smart move for edge constraints. The 8x speedup in the Audio model is a significant improvement for latency, and the specific optimizations for AMD and Qualcomm NPUs show that this is built for actual hardware.

I really think 2026 is going to be the year on-device AI finally scales up.
