Liquid AI has developed new LLM architectures, LFM one and LFM two, designed for on-device deployment with improved memory, latency, and context length compared to traditional transformers. These models, particularly LFM two, utilize a hybrid approach combining attention mechanisms with a higher number of convolutional layers to manage KV cache and maintain quality. The company emphasizes optimizing for target hardware from the outset, using metrics like memory usage, inference speed, and quality to guide development, contrasting with earlier models where theoretical gains did not fully translate to practical performance.
