Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-24B-A2B, a Sparse 24B Model That Outperforms Larger Competitors on Agent Tasks

Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-24B-A2B, a 24-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with only 2.45 billion parameters active per token, positioned to challenge larger competitors in on-device agentic workloads. Published on October 13, 2026, as open-weight checkpoints on Hugging Face, the model represents the largest member of Liquid's LFM2.5 family and signals a strategic shift toward reasoning-focused, locally-deployable agents.
