Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B", device_map="auto")
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]:]))

 # LFM2.5-8B-A1B
 LFM2.5 is a new family of hybrid models designed for on-device deployment. It builds on the LFM2 architecture with extended pre-training and reinforcement learning.
 - **On-device personal assistant**: Designed to power real-life applications, chaining tool calls, and following complex instructions on all devices.

 # LFM2.5-8B-A1B
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **⚠️Important:**
+> The tokenizer was updated after the original release to fix tool-calling issues in `llama.cpp`.
+> If you downloaded LFM2.5-8B-A1B before [commit `feb5e04`](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B/commit/feb5e04da4910dd56d33f0cd03747ff298c1e801), please re-download the tokenizer files.
+> The [GGUF files](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-8B-A1B-GGUF) have also been re-converted with the updated tokenizer.
