Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B

SGLang

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang

 ## 🏃 How to run LFM2
-> [!WARNING]
->  ⚠️ Until LFM2 support is merged into the transformers library, it requires setting `trust_remote_code=True` when loading the model.
-To run LFM2, you need Hugging Face [`transformers`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) v4.53.0.
-You can update or install it with the following command: `pip install transformers==4.53.0`
