Liquid AI releases the LFM3 model family

Liquid AI released the LFM3 family with downloadable text, vision, audio, omni and decision models around two billion parameters. The LFM Open License restricts commercial use for organizations meeting its revenue threshold.

A family for local adaptation

Liquid AI released six roughly two-billion-parameter post-trained models on a shared backbone, covering text, vision, audio, omni and two decision variants. The launch supplied downloadable checkpoints; Webdiga reported same-day local text and audio tests while distinguishing runtime support for each modality. [1][2]

The weights use the LFM Open License v1.0. Its commercial conditions apply at annual revenue of $10 million or more, with separate provisions for research and qualified nonprofits. Download access does not establish unrestricted commercial licensing, and the text-model card cautions against agentic coding and complex multi-step reasoning. [3][4]
