What is Liquid AI?
Liquid AI builds Liquid Foundation Models (LFM) that run directly on devices such as phones, laptops, and cars. It has released several model families, including text, vision, audio, and decision-making models, which run on various runtimes such as llama.cpp, MLX, ONNX, CoreML, and vLLM. The models can be downloaded, run, and fine-tuned for free under the LFM Open License, while companies with annual revenue above $10 million need a commercial license. It also provides an API trial, documentation, and a fine-tuning tool (LEAP Finetune).
