Liquid AI's smallest model yet LFM2.5-230M beats models 4X its size at data extraction, can run 'anywhere'

Liquid AI, founded by former MIT computer scientists, today released its smallest AI language model yet, LFM2.5-230M , and enterprises would do well to consider it for their uses in data extraction and local deployment on smartphones, laptops and robotics. This is a 230-million-parameter foundation model explicitly designed for on-device agentic workflows, and as Liquid states in its release blog post, that small size makes it possible to run nearly “anywhere.” According to Liquid, it also outperforms models more than 4X its size on selected benchmarks, specifically doing better at data extrac
