LFM2.5 8B A1B is a released rag, agents, and long context model with open-weight and 128k context; evaluate it while provider pricing coverage matures.

Use it for

  • Teams evaluating rag, agents, and long context
  • Workloads that can use a 128k context window

Do not use it for

  • Cost-sensitive launches that need sourced token pricing
  • Vision or document-understanding workloads
  • Teams that need a tracked hosted API route today

About

LFM2.5-8B-A1B is Liquid AI's latest on-device mixture-of-experts model, succeeding LFM2-8B-A1B. It has 8.3B total parameters with approximately 1.5B active per token (the A1B label uses a rounded ~1B figure). The architecture combines 18 double-gated LIV convolutional layers with 6 GQA attention layers, trained on 38 trillion tokens. The context window expands to 128K tokens (up from 32K in the predecessor). It is a reasoning model that generates explicit chain-of-thought steps before producing its final answer, making reasoning tokens cheap due to the MoE design. Strong tool-calling, function-calling, and instruction-following capabilities make it well-suited for agentic workflows on edge hardware.

Benchmark scores(6)

Scores are benchmark-specific and are direction-aware: the same numeric gap can mean very different outcomes across suites. Use the leaderboard context and this model's provider route to decide whether the winning margin is meaningful for your workload.
