LFM2.5-2.6B: the tiny agent that outruns models 4x its size
Liquid AI's LFM2.5-2.6B fits an agentic model into 2.6B parameters and under 2.5 GB of memory, topping every instruction-following benchmark it was tested on. It runs 220 tokens/s on a laptop; coding is the one clear gap.

LFM2.5-Encoders make the small-model case: 3.7× faster than ModernBERT on CPU
Liquid AI's open-weight LFM2.5-Encoders make the case that production NLP belongs on small models. A 230M encoder beats ModernBERT-base on benchmarks and scans full documents in about 28 seconds on a laptop CPU, roughly 3.7× faster.
