Overview

What this model is.

LFM2.5-24B-A2B-Base is a 24 billion-parameter mixture-of-experts language model released by LiquidAI. It contains 40 layers, 64 experts per MoE block with top-4 routing, and 2.45 billion active parameters. The model was trained on 36 trillion tokens, supports a 128 k vocabulary and 17 languages, and is intended for on-device use and specialised fine-tuning such as language-specific or domain-specific assistants.

In practice the model occupies a large memory footprint due to its 24 billion total parameters, but only 2.45 billion are active at inference. It accepts up to 131 072 tokens of context, uses bfloat16 weight format, and is released under an "other" licence. The repository provides inference support through multiple frameworks and is compatible with Transformers ≥ 5.0.0.

Memory

How much VRAM the weights need.

Parameter count multiplied by the bytes each format uses. The key-value cache comes on top.

PrecisionWeightsNotes
bf1644.7 GiBFull precision as released
fp822.3 GiB8-bit, near-lossless on most models
int411.2 GiB4-bit, smallest footprint

The cache costs 80 KiB per token at 16-bit, so the full 131,072-token context of one request needs about 10.0 GiB. Concurrency multiplies that number, not the weights.

Hardware

Which card runs it.

At the released precision, with 90% of the card given to the server and 2.5 GiB kept for the runtime. The context column is what is left for the cache on that setup.

Questions

The things people ask about this model.

How much GPU memory does LFM2.5-24B-A2B-Base need?

The weights take about 45 GiB at the released precision. That fits on one A100 80GB, which leaves roughly 25 GiB for the key-value cache.

What licence does LFM2.5-24B-A2B-Base use?

The repository declares other. Read the licence text before commercial use: the name alone does not tell you what is allowed.

How long a context does it support?

The configuration allows 131,072 tokens. Whether the whole window is usable depends on the memory left for the cache, which the hardware table works out per card.

Can I use it through an API instead of hosting it?

This page is a reference, and Aiqre does not serve this model today. We deploy open-weight models on dedicated EU hardware on request, so if you want an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for it, email [email protected] with the model name and roughly what volume you expect.
