About

BaseRT is a high-performance LLM inference runtime for Apple Silicon that lets developers pull models from Hugging Face, chat with them locally, or serve an OpenAI-compatible API from one CLI. Accelerated by hand-written Metal kernels, it is designed to deliver fast prefill and decode performance on M-series Macs, with published benchmarks showing up to 6.4× faster prefill than llama.cpp, 3.9× faster than MLX, and up to 1.33× faster decode. The basert CLI handles model downloading, conversion, interactive chat, serving, completion, benchmarking, inspection, and bundle signing. Its server supports chat, completions, embeddings, transcription, tool calls, continuous batching, paged KV caching, and prefix caching, while supported models can process text, vision, and audio. BaseRT uses its own .base model format with Q2–Q8 affine quantization, optional AWQ calibration, and signed bundles, and can convert GGUF, Hugging Face, and MLX checkpoints.

About

Liquid AI’s LFM2.5 is the next generation of on-device AI foundation models designed to deliver high-performance, efficient AI inference on edge devices such as phones, laptops, vehicles, IoT systems, and embedded hardware without relying on cloud compute. It extends the previous LFM2 architecture by significantly increasing the pretraining scale and reinforcement learning stages, yielding a family of hybrid models around 1.2 billion parameters that balance instruction following, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities for real-world agentic use cases. The LFM2.5 family includes Base (for fine-tuning and customization), Instruct (general-purpose instruction-tuned), Japanese-optimized, Vision-Language, and Audio-Language variants, all optimized for fast, on-device inference under tight memory constraints and available as open-weight models deployable via frameworks like llama.cpp, MLX, vLLM, and ONNX.
