How to run it

llama.cpp · CPU/Metal/CUDA according to installed llama.cpp build

publisher/backend-documented, not executed source

uv pip install huggingface-hub
hf download LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-GGUF lfm2.5-1.2b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf --local-dir .
llama-server -m lfm2.5-1.2b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -c 4096 --port 8080
llama-cli -m lfm2.5-1.2b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf -c 4096 --color -i \
    --temp 0.1 --top-k 50 --repeat-penalty 1.05

Prerequisites: See linked source for backend installation/version requirements.

Sampling: temperature=0.1 · top_k=50 · repeat_penalty=1.05

  • Exact local q4_k_m filename avoids default-hf artifact ambiguity.
  • 4096 context is documented example, not optimal universal value.

vLLM · unknown

publisher/backend-documented, not executed source

uv pip install -U vllm
vllm serve LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct

Prerequisites: See linked source for backend installation/version requirements.

  • Latest vLLM is unpinned; verify loaded architecture and requested context before using fit results.

Recipes are source examples (settings are the publisher’s or author’s, not measured optima) and were not executed by LocalFit. A downloadable file does not prove your backend build supports the architecture.
