Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B

is the word that comes to mind when talking to this model, fast, smart and very intuitive, you've officially cooked again!
I have a bunch of very high quality datasets in persian (cross lingual connection, no duplicates, high semantic value) that I very much want to give to be used in next stages of the training, and I will attempt my own training on this model, I was going to do it with 1.2b version but now we've this model, why not on this one?
I'll soon send you the related links and keys.
I'm seriously impressed and wanted to congratulate you on this brilliant design and model, keep up the amazing work, LiquidAI is a diamond in the making!
