# mlx-community/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-OptiQ-4bit

> **Built with [mlx-optiq](https://mlx-optiq.com)**, the MLX-native toolkit to quantize, fine-tune, and serve LLMs locally on Apple Silicon, no PyTorch and no cloud. [All OptiQ quants](https://mlx-optiq.com/models) · [Docs](https://mlx-optiq.com/docs/)

An OptiQ mixed-precision quant of [LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct). 825 MB on disk, down from 2.34 GB at bf16, and it scores 79% on IFEval and 70% on GSM8K at that size.

LFM2.5 is a hybrid architecture: convolutional blocks interleaved with full attention, so only a few blocks carry a KV cache. OptiQ measures each layer's sensitivity and assigns per-layer bit-widths, keeping 8-bit where it matters and 4-bit elsewhere.

## What it is

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Base | [LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct) |
| Architecture | `lfm2` — hybrid conv + full attention |
| Method | OptiQ mixed-precision, sensitivity-driven (bf16 reference) |
| On disk | 825 MB (bf16: 2.34 GB) |
| Context | 128k |
| KV cache | mixed-precision `kv_config.json` bundled |

## Capability Score

Six-metric mean, the standard OptiQ eval.

| Metric | Score |
|---|---:|
| MMLU (5-shot, 969 samples) | 43.3% |
| GSM8K (1000 samples) | 69.7% |
| IFEval (full set, strict) | 79.1% |
| BFCL-V3 simple (200 calls) | 45.0% |
| HumanEval (164 problems, pass@1) | 48.8% |
| HashHop (long-context retrieval) | 1.0% |
| **Capability Score** (mean of 6) | **47.82** |

Instruction-following and grade-school maths are the strengths here, and it writes usable Python at nearly 50% pass@1 for a model under a gigabyte. Long-context multi-hop retrieval is the weak spot.

## Run it

```bash
pip install mlx-optiq
```

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tok = load("mlx-community/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-OptiQ-4bit")
prompt = tok.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about compilers."}],
    tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True,
)
print(generate(model, tok, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=300))
```

Serve it with the bundled mixed-precision KV cache:

```bash
optiq serve --model mlx-community/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-OptiQ-4bit --kv-config kv_config.json
```

## Tool calling

LFM2.5 writes Pythonic calls between special tokens:

```
<|tool_call_start|>[get_weather(city="Paris")]<|tool_call_end|>
```

Pass `tools=` to `apply_chat_template` and they are rendered into the system prompt.
