Liquid AI posted a new version of its LFM2.5‑24B‑A2B model on Hugging Face. The model is converted to MLX format and quantized to 6 bits per weight, keeping the MoE routing gates in full‑precision. It can be loaded with mlx‑lm 0.32.0 or newer; older versions load the model but route experts incorrectly. The model uses a ChatML‑like chat template and supports function calling.
Why it matters
Developers can run a large reasoning model faster on‑device, especially on Apple Silicon machines.
