Run fast, private agents on-device with LFM2.5-24B-A2B
Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-24B-A2B, a 24B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with only 2B active parameters, designed for fast, private on-device agentic workloads. The architecture targets deployment scenarios where latency and data privacy are critical constraints, competing in the efficient inference space against quantized transformer alternatives.
