LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF
LFM2.5-VL-3B is Liquid AI's multimodal, on-device-optimized vision-language model, built on the LFM2-VL-3B foundation with further mid- and post-training, combining the LFM2.5-2.6B language backbone with a SigLIP2 NaFlex shape-optimized 400M vision encoder that processes images at native resolution by splitting large images into non-overlapping 512×512 patches plus a resized thumbnail. It supports a 32,768-token context window across 16 languages, delivers improved grounding and object detection with natural-language queries, and introduces full-page OCR with structured layout annotation (bounding boxes, region labels like text/table/equation, LaTeX for formulas, and OTSL for tables). It's designed for single-turn, high-throughput, low-latency tasks — near-realtime object detection, batch OCR of scanned documents, or on-device translation of menus and signs — rather than long-context or reasoning-intensive work like visual web design. Compared to its LFM2-VL-3B predecessor, it shows substantial gains in screen understanding (80.7 on ScreenSpot-v2, versus far behind on tool-use benchmarks previously), grounding (87.9 on RefCOCO), multi-image reasoning (58.3 on MuirBench), and tool use (59.5 on ToolSandBox), competing closely with larger models like Gemma4-E4B while running at 228 tok/s on an Apple M5 Max and 116 tok/s on an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in under 3.3GB of memory (and even 20 tok/s on a Galaxy S26 Ultra), or reaching ~11K tokens/sec throughput on a single H100 via vLLM. It's available in native, GGUF, ONNX, and MLX formats, supports Pythonic tool calling, and is released under Liquid AI's LFM1.0 license.
