LFM3-1.7B-GGUF

GGUF version of LFM3-1.7B for local inference on CPUs and GPUs.

Find architecture and usage details in the original model card.

How to run LFM3-1.7B

Recommended sampling: temperature 0.1, top_k 50, repeat penalty 1.1. For math and science: temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, top_k 20.

Llama.app (Use this model > Llama in the menu), for macOS and Windows. Requires llama.cpp version v0.8.0 or newer.
LM Studio (Use this model > LM Studio in the menu), for macOS, Windows and Linux. Requires LM Studio with llama.cpp engine 2.65.1 or newer.
Ollama (ollama run lfm3), for macOS. Requires Ollama version v0.40.12 or newer.

Use with llama.cpp

Supported in llama.cpp b11960 (v0.8.0) and newer.

Add a quantization tag to pick a file.

llama-cli -hf LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
  --temp 0.1 --top-k 50 --repeat-penalty 1.1

For math and science, use --temp 1.0 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 instead. More options in the llama.cpp guide.

QAD Q4_0 GGUF

The Q4_0 build in this repository is the Quantization-Aware Distillation (QAD) checkpoint, LFM3-1.7B-QAD-Q4_0.gguf. It was trained to recover the accuracy lost to Q4_0 quantization.

Example usage with llama.cpp:

llama-cli -hf LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B-GGUF \
  --hf-file LFM3-1.7B-QAD-Q4_0.gguf \
  --temp 0.1 --top-k 50 --repeat-penalty 1.1
