Liquid AI releases 3B vision-language model for on-device use

Liquid AI has launched LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3.1 billion parameter vision-language model designed for on-device applications. This model excels at reading digital screens, identifying objects with coordinates, and processing documents and charts. It also supports function calling, enabling it to interact with tools based on text or image inputs. While achieving strong performance on various benchmarks, it is noted as a non-reasoning model, prioritizing low latency. AI

IMPACT Enables on-device screen reading and tool calling, potentially accelerating GUI automation and offline AI applications.
