Can you run LFM2.5-24B-A2B yourself?
Yes. Liquid AI publishes the weights on Hugging Face as LiquidAI/LFM2.5-24B-A2B, under LFM Open License v1.0: 24B (MoE, 2B active) parameters, 48 GB in BF16.
Running it takes about 58 GB of GPU memory: one 80 GB data-centre GPU, or a Mac with comfortably more unified memory than that. That's the weight files plus 20% for working memory with short inputs; long contexts need more, and fitting in memory doesn't make it fast.
Liquid AI also publishes a smaller FP8 version, LiquidAI/LFM2.5-24B-A2B-FP8, at 25 GB: about 30 GB to run, so a single GPU with at least 30 GB of memory, or a Mac with comfortably more than 30 GB.
