About

LFM3 is Liquid AI’s family of compact, open-weight foundation models for text, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks. The release includes text-generation, vision-language, audio, omni, and decision-model variants. Developers can download the model weights, adapt supported models through fine-tuning, and run them locally on edge hardware or access them through Liquid AI’s hosted API. Use cases include conversational assistants, tool calling, speech transcription and generation, image and video understanding, document extraction, classification, routing, and robotics applications. LFM3 is intended for developers, researchers, and organizations building specialized AI applications that need flexible deployment choices, including local inference. Open-weight models are available under Liquid AI’s LFM Open License; commercial eligibility and terms depend on an organization’s annual revenue.

About

Shieldstral is a 3B open-weights, policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier designed to evaluate text, images, and text-plus-image content using policies defined at inference time. Instead of relying on a fixed taxonomy of harm categories, it frames moderation as a binary question-answering task: users provide an instruction describing the evaluation context and strictness, a yes-or-no safety question, and the content to judge. The model reads the “yes” and “no” logits and converts them into a continuous, calibrated safety score, allowing applications to threshold or rank results by confidence rather than depend on a single discrete label. This formulation unifies prompt classification, response moderation, refusal detection, toxicity detection, and multimodal safety in one interface, while letting teams adapt policies without retraining the model. Shieldstral can evaluate prompts, responses, prompt-response pairs, images, and images with accompanying text.
