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]:]))

According to the LFM1.0 license:

"Commercial Use" shall mean any use of the Work for direct or indirect commercial advantage or monetary compensation.

Commercial Use Limitation.

(a) The rights granted under this License for Commercial Use are conditioned upon You or Your Legal Entity not exceeding the Threshold.

(b) Any Commercial Use of the Work or a Derivative Work by a Legal Entity that exceeds the Threshold is not licensed under this Agreement.

(c) The Threshold shall not apply to a Qualified Non-Profit Organization's use of the Work or a Derivative Work for Non-Commercial or Research Purposes.

Does this mean that I cannot use this to work on a commercial project, or only that I cannot sell or license the model, or sell inference of it, for a total amount "exceeding the Threshold"?

The threshold is set based on your annual revenue, not the amount you are charging for use of an LFM.

So, you can use LFMs for any commercial project if your total company revenue is under the $10M annual threshold.

For anyone over the $10M revenue threshold, the restriction is not limited to selling the model or providing inference. If you’re at or above $10M, any commercial use (running the model in production, incorporating into a product you distribute) would require a license from Liquid AI.
