Liquid AI released LFM2.5-VL-3B, an open-weight 3B vision-language model that it says rivals models twice its size while running faster on CPU and GPU. Benchmarks show large gains over LFM2-VL-3B, including ScreenSpot-v2 averaging 80.7, RefCOCO precision@1 rising from 57.1 to 87.9, and ToolSandbox rising from 26.4 to 59.5.
The model is available on Hugging Face and decodes 228 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max.
