Speech and audio
Liquid AI-reported. ASR rows are lower-is-better; the other columns are higher-is-better.
| Model | English ASR WER | Multilingual ASR WER / CER | English TTS UTMOSv2 | VoiceBench | Tool calling (internal) | MMAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LFM3-Audio-2B | 6.23% | 6.03% | 3.83 | 73.13 | 58.50 | 50.60 |
