candle-lfm2: LFM2.5 (Liquid Foundation Model 2.5)

LFM2.5 is a hybrid architecture from LiquidAI that combines attention and short convolution layers for efficient sequence processing.

Running the example

bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --release -- --prompt "The capital of France is"

For the "thinking" model variant with chat template:

bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --release -- \
    --which lfm2.5-1.2b-thinking \
    --prompt "<|im_start|>user\nWhat is 2+2?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"

On a CUDA-enabled machine with flash attention:

bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --features cuda,flash-attn --release -- \
    --use-flash-attn --prompt "The capital of France is"

Supported Models

  1. LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct
  2. LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking
