A compact base model that punches above its weight class for its parameter count, LFM2.5 1.2B Base reflects LiquidAI's architecture experimentation beyond standard transformer designs. As a base model, it has no instruction-following or chat tuning — it completes text rather than answering questions, making it a raw foundation for fine-tuning rather than direct use. Its 128K context window is unusually generous for a model this small.
