| # LFM2-8B-A1B-GGUF | |
| LFM2 is a new generation of hybrid models developed by [Liquid AI](https://www.liquid.ai/), specifically designed for edge AI and on-device deployment. It sets a new standard in terms of quality, speed, and memory efficiency. | |
| We're releasing the weights of our first MoE based on LFM2, with 8.3B total parameters and 1.5B active parameters. | |
| - LFM2-8B-A1B is the best on-device MoE in terms of both **quality** (comparable to 3-4B dense models) and **speed** (faster than Qwen3-1.7B). | |
| - **Code and knowledge** capabilities are significantly improved compared to LFM2-2.6B. | |
| - Quantized variants fit comfortably on high-end **phones, tablets, and laptops**. | |
| Find more information about LFM2-8B-A1B in our [blog post](https://www.liquid.ai/blog/). | |
| ## 🏃 How to run LFM2 | |
| Example usage with [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp): | |
| ``` | |
| llama-cli -hf LiquidAI/LFM2-8B-A1B-GGUF | |
| ``` |
