Liquid AI's LFM2.5-24B-A2B outscores Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on LiveClaw in Liquid's own evaluation

Liquid AI says its LFM2.5-24B-A2B scores 48.09 on LiveClaw against 38.19 for the larger Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. The 184 tok/s it reports on an Apple M5 Max is a decode rate, so agent latency depends on how many tokens the model spends thinking.

Liquid's d1-3B returns structured decisions in one forward pass at 16 ms on Jetson Thor

Liquid AI's open-weight d1-3B answers classification questions in a single forward pass, taking 16 ms on a Jetson AGX Thor and 50 ms on an Orin Nano. That puts routing and intent tagging on edge boards without a large model, on figures Liquid measured itself.

Online-SDFT fine-tunes a 230M model on an Android phone from delayed, unlabeled interactions. The teacher is the same frozen base weights with the adapter off, and the write-up reports no measurements.
