Decision reading
LFM2.5-VL-450M is tracked, but not publicly ranked yet. The profile exposes 7 sourced benchmark rows and leaves unsupported fields blank until a published record exists.

Data as of August 21, 2026 · How the score is built

Strongest published evidence

Instruction Following ranks #39. A well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Validate before choosing

7 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-VL-450M, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.

LFM2.5-VL-450M is a open weight model with a 128K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.

Official exact-value snapshot from Liquid AI's April 8, 2026 LFM2.5-VL-450M launch post and matching Hugging Face model card. BenchLM maps only the directly comparable GPQA, MMLU-Pro, IFEval, BFCLv4, MMMU, RealWorldQA, and CountBench results. MMStar, MMBench, POPE, MMVet, BLINK, InfoVQA, OCRBench, MM-IFEval, MMMB, RefCOCO-M, and Multi-IF remain outside BenchLM's current exact benchmark schema.

7 of 402 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Instruction Following at #39, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #85. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does LFM2.5-VL-450M perform overall in AI benchmarks?

LFM2.5-VL-450M has 7 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-VL-450M good for knowledge and understanding?

LFM2.5-VL-450M 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-VL-450M good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

LFM2.5-VL-450M ranks #85 out of 137 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 45.2/100. 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-VL-450M good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

LFM2.5-VL-450M has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, 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-VL-450M good for instruction following?

LFM2.5-VL-450M ranks #39 out of 41 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 26.2/100. 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-VL-450M open source?

LFM2.5-VL-450M 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-VL-450M have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. LFM2.5-VL-450M currently has 7 source-displayable rows across 402 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-VL-450M?

LFM2.5-VL-450M has a reported context window of 128K 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 21, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
