Model creator: LiquidAI

Original model: LFM2.5-2.6B

Source revision: dca1825886789bd40b94368f53b1d9ada4c94598

MLX quantization: provided by LM Studio team using mlx_lm

Technical Details#

6-bit affine quantized version of LFM2.5-2.6B using a group size of 64, optimized for Apple Silicon.

Conversion and modification notice#

LM Studio converted the pinned source model from BF16 safetensors to MLX safetensors with mlx-lm 0.30.8 at commit 9c113f7. The weights were changed from the source in format and numerical precision.

The source config.json was changed to add MLX-LM-compatible aliases: block_ff_dim=10752 (matching intermediate_size) and top-level rope_theta=10000000.0 (matching rope_parameters.rope_theta). MLX-LM also added quantization metadata, and tokenizer_config.json was changed to embed the source chat template for compatibility. No other architecture or tokenizer behavior was intentionally changed.

Reasoning behavior#

LFM2.5-2.6B is an always-thinking model. Its source chat template begins every assistant turn with <think>; there is no supported template switch to disable reasoning.

License#

This model is distributed under the LFM Open License v1.0. Review the license before using or redistributing the model, including its commercial-use limitation.

Special thanks#

🙏 Special thanks to the Apple Machine Learning Research team for creating MLX.
