Decision reading
LFM2.5-230M is tracked, but not publicly ranked yet. The profile exposes 6 sourced benchmark rows and leaves unsupported fields blank until a published record exists.

Data as of August 13, 2026 · How the score is built

Strongest published evidence

Instruction Following ranks #38. A well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Validate before choosing

6 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.

Decision snapshot

Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

Category score record

Scores and ranks appear only where published evidence can be displayed. The table keeps the score, weight, cohort, and evidence state together.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

We track LFM2.5-230M, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.

LFM2.5-230M is a open weight model with a 32K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.

Official exact-value snapshot from Liquid AI's June 25, 2026 LFM2.5-230M launch post and matching Hugging Face model card. BenchLM maps GPQA Diamond, MMLU-Pro, IFEval, IFBench, BFCLv4, and Tau2 Telecom. Multi-IF, CaseReportBench, BFCLv3, Tau2 Retail, and runtime tables remain out of schema.

6 of 430 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Instruction Following at #38, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #83. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does LFM2.5-230M perform overall in AI benchmarks?

LFM2.5-230M has 6 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.

Is LFM2.5-230M good for knowledge and understanding?

LFM2.5-230M has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is LFM2.5-230M good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

LFM2.5-230M ranks #83 out of 128 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 44.1/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is LFM2.5-230M good for instruction following?

LFM2.5-230M ranks #38 out of 38 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 1/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is LFM2.5-230M open source?

LFM2.5-230M is an open-weight model from LiquidAI. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does LFM2.5-230M have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. LFM2.5-230M currently has 6 source-displayable rows across 430 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of LFM2.5-230M?

LFM2.5-230M has a reported context window of 32K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.

Last updated August 13, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
