# mlx-community/LFM2.5-2.6B-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/) · [LFM2.5 family](https://mlx-optiq.com/docs/lfm2.5)

An OptiQ mixed-precision quant of [LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B). 1.93 GB on disk, down from 5.2 GB at bf16, with a 128k context.

LFM2.5 is a hybrid architecture: convolutional blocks interleaved with full attention, so only a few blocks carry a KV cache at all. 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/LFM2.5-2.6B](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B) |
| Architecture | `lfm2` — hybrid conv + full attention, 30 layers |
| Method | OptiQ mixed-precision, sensitivity-driven (bf16 reference) |
| On disk | 1.93 GB (bf16: 5.2 GB) |
| Context | 128k |

## Capability Score

Six-metric mean, the standard OptiQ eval.

| Metric | Score |
|---|---:|
| MMLU (5-shot, 969 samples) | 59.5% |
| GSM8K (1000 samples) | 38.1% |
| IFEval (full set, strict) | 33.1% |
| BFCL-V3 simple (200 calls) | 92.0% |
| HumanEval (164 problems, pass@1) | 18.9% |
| HashHop (long-context retrieval) | 13.0% |
| **Capability Score** (mean of 6) | **42.44** |

Read that profile against what the model is for. Liquid position LFM2.5-2.6B for agentic workloads, tool use, data extraction and RAG, and state plainly that it is **not** recommended for agentic coding or knowledge-heavy tasks. Tool calling is the strongest result here and coding the weakest, which is the shape you would expect.

## Run it

```bash
pip install mlx-optiq
optiq serve --model mlx-community/LFM2.5-2.6B-OptiQ-4bit
```

That gives you an OpenAI and Anthropic compatible endpoint with mixed-precision KV cache, tool-call healing and prompt caching.

Liquid's recommended sampling for this model is `temperature 0.1`, `top_k 50`, `repetition_penalty 1.1`. Those ship in `generation_config.json` in this repo and `optiq serve` applies them automatically, so you get the publisher's settings without passing any flags.

Or straight from Python:

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/LFM2.5-2.6B-OptiQ-4bit")
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Extract the dates from this invoice."}],
    add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False,
)
print(generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=512))
```
