Liquid AI has released new checkpoints for its LFM2.5 models, utilizing Quantization-Aware Distillation (QAD) to improve performance. These QAD Q4_0 checkpoints maintain the low memory footprint and high throughput of standard Q4_0 GGUFs while recovering approximately 97% of the accuracy lost during quantization. Benchmarks show these new checkpoints match or exceed the quality of other quantization methods, such as Q5_K_M and Unsloth's UD-Q4_K_XL, with improved decode throughput on various edge hardware. AI
IMPACT Improves efficiency and accuracy of models on edge devices, enabling wider deployment.
