Breakthrough in Edge-side Large Models! Liquid AI Opens Source Hybrid Expert Model LFM2.5
Artificial intelligence startup Liquid AI has released and open-sourced the edge-side large model LFM2.5-8B-A1B, specifically designed for consumer-grade hardware, with optimized tool calling and instruction following capabilities. The model uses a sparse mixture of experts architecture, with a total parameter count of 8.3B, but only activates 1.5B parameters per Token. This reduces computational costs while enhancing reasoning performance, allowing it to run smoothly on mobile phones and laptops.
