Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-MLX-8bit with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-lm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-lm

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-MLX-8bit")

prompt = "Write a story about Einstein"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-MLX-8bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-MLX-8bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-MLX-8bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Tool calling issues

I really like LFM models because of their speed and intelligence, especially considering how compact they are.
So far, I’ve only used the models for chat, and they’ve performed quite well.

I wanted to experiment with llama-server using the Pi Coding Agent and use the model for code analysis, but it turned out to be quite inadequate and failed on the very first request.

I know there’s a merged MR for support, and I’ve compiled llama-cpp from the main branch, but the problem still persists.

How well does the tool call the model?
