About LFM2
LFM2 is a next-generation series of on-device foundation models built to deliver the fastest generative-AI experience across a wide range of endpoints. It employs a new hybrid architecture that achieves up to 2x faster decode and prefill performance than comparable models, and up to 3x improvements in training efficiency compared to the previous generation. These models strike an optimal balance of quality, latency, and memory for deployment on embedded systems, allowing real-time, on-device AI across smartphones, laptops, vehicles, wearables, and other endpoints, enabling millisecond inference, device resilience, and full data sovereignty. Available in three dense checkpoints (0.35 B, 0.7 B, and 1.2 B parameters), LFM2 demonstrates benchmark performance that outperforms similarly sized models in tasks such as knowledge recall, mathematics, multilingual instruction-following, and conversational dialogue evaluations.

Ministral 3B
Mistral AI introduced two state-of-the-art models for on-device computing and edge use cases, named "les Ministraux": Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B. These models set a new frontier in knowledge, commonsense reasoning, function-calling, and efficiency in the sub-10B category. They can be used or tuned for various applications, from orchestrating agentic workflows to creating specialist task workers. Both models support up to 128k context length (currently 32k on vLLM), and Ministral 8B features a special interleaved sliding-window attention pattern for faster and memory-efficient inference. These models were built to provide a compute-efficient and low-latency solution for scenarios such as on-device translation, internet-less smart assistants, local analytics, and autonomous robotics. Used in conjunction with larger language models like Mistral Large, les Ministraux also serve as efficient intermediaries for function-calling in multi-step agentic workflows.
