Liquid AI splits LFM3 into six open 2-billion-parameter models built for the edge

On 27 October 2026, Liquid AI released LFM3, a family of six open-weight models of roughly 2 billion parameters — text, vision, audio, omni and decision — all branching from one shared backbone. The bet is explicit: run multimodal AI on a phone, a Raspberry Pi or a Jetson, with no cloud in the loop.
