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

Smaug Flash is a family of three open-weight models fine-tuned by Abacus.AI for production agentic workloads, with each model positioned at a different point on the capability–efficiency curve. The line is trained using human-curated real-world agentic traces combined with synthetic data grounded in difficult examples, producing gains in agentic coding, real-world tool use, automation, long-context reasoning, and instruction following. Smaug Flash, based on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, is the workhorse model for enterprise self-improving agents where speed, efficiency, and reliable agent performance need to coexist. It is specifically tuned to reduce the spins and confusion that can appear during long-context tool use while retaining the base model’s speed advantages. Smaug Mini, based on Qwen3.8 27B, targets multimodal use cases and smaller reasoning tasks in a more compact package, with stronger real-world agentic ability for one-off workflows.
