Liquid AI Ships LFM2.5-24B-A2B Open-Weight Model With 2B Active Params
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-24B-A2B on October 13, 2026, an open-weight reasoning model with 24 billion total parameters but only 2 billion active per token. The company published both base and post-trained checkpoints on Hugging Face and detailed the release in a Hugging Face blog post. The architecture is explicitly designed for agents that run on-device rather than in the cloud. Because only a fraction of the weights fire per token, inference stays cheap enough for phones and laptops while the full 24B pool supplies reasoning depth. This puts a capable agent model directly in users' hands, no API call required.
