I can't imagine who is using something like this for agentic coding, but I see exciting opportunities on the horizon when we can have hundreds of reasonably rational and conversational agents working on local machines to simulate emergent behavior (simulating crowds, markets, ecosystems, game NPCs, etc.)
Will this work in i3/i5 laptops?
These LiquidAI models have never worked well for me in practice.
Care to share any details? I'm about to check the 2.6b lfm on document editing.
LFM's training/post-training is famously different than other models. They target reliable operation of tiny models in ways other model families don't (they aren't just scaling a larger model to a smaller size). If you're looking for good performance out of tiny models, LFM has the most advanced design.
Note how they're much smaller than all other models in the comparison yet match or exceed them. This is for 2.6B params, but they have models as small as 230M. Nobody else designs models that small.
Agentic behaviour isn't just coding. In fact:
> We recommend using it for agentic workloads, tool use, data extraction, RAG, and long-context workflows. It is not recommended for agentic coding and knowledge-heavy tasks.
Really curious about people's workflows with these agentic-but-not-for-coding workflows. Are there some interesting people to follow there or just good testbeds/environments to get an idea ?
