LFM2.5-VL-DSpark
LFM2.5-VL-DSpark is an experimental vision-language draft model for speculative decoding with LFM2.5-VL-3B. Liquid AI reports decoding throughput improvements of up to 2.66× on GPUs and 3.13× on edge devices, with output quality unchanged.
What it does
Use it with LFM2.5-VL-3B to speed up vision-language model inference on supported NVIDIA GPU and Apple silicon runtimes.
