Liquid AI has officially open-sourced LFM2.5-24B-A2B, its largest model to date, designed specifically for laptops and PCs using a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. With 24B total parameters but only 2B activated per token via sparse activation, the model significantly reduces inference latency and memory footprint while supporting a 131K token context window and 128K vocabulary. This approach addresses high cloud API latency and data privacy concerns, enabling fast, private on-device agent deployment.
Cross-verified reports indicate that LFM2.5-24B-A2B is optimized for multi-step reasoning and tool calling. In agent and tool-use benchmarks, it performs comparably to Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, which has approximately 50% more parameters. The base and post-trained weights are now available on Hugging Face and integrated into OpenRouter, allowing developers to directly build locally running autonomous agents.
This release marks a critical breakthrough in evolving edge AI from simple chatbots to complex agents. By leveraging the efficient compute characteristics of MoE architectures, Liquid AI demonstrates the feasibility of running high-performance, long-context agents on resource-constrained local devices, offering a competitive open-source solution for privacy-sensitive applications and offline intelligent assistants.
