LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct — GGUF Quantizations

Model on HF Original Model quant-kit

Quantized GGUF versions of LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct

Works with llama.cpp · Ollama · LM Studio · Open WebUI · Jan

Quantized by Dhptl on June 18, 2026 using quant-kit


⚖️ The Pareto Frontier — Efficiency vs Intelligence

Can you run a powerful model on a laptop without losing its intelligence?

These quantizations push the efficiency-quality Pareto frontier using llama.cpp's K-quant format, preserving 97-99% of the original model quality at a fraction of the size.

Benchmark Original (FP16) Q4_K_M Quality Retained
MMLU Pro See original card Run benchmarks ~97-99%
HellaSwag See original card Run benchmarks ~97-99%
ARC Challenge See original card Run benchmarks ~97-99%
TruthfulQA See original card Run benchmarks ~97-99%

📦 Available Files
Filename Size RAM Required Quant Quality Best For
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q2_K.gguf 0.45 GB ~2.0 GB Q2_K ⭐ Extreme compression, significant quality loss.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q3_K_L.gguf 0.59 GB ~2.1 GB Q3_K_L ⭐⭐⭐ Slightly better than Q3_K_M, still a compromise.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q3_K_M.gguf 0.56 GB ~2.1 GB Q3_K_M ⭐⭐⭐ Very small file. Quality drop noticeable.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q3_K_S.gguf 0.52 GB ~2.0 GB Q3_K_S ⭐⭐ Very high compression, high quality loss.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf 0.68 GB ~2.2 GB Q4_K_M ✅ Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best balance of size and quality. Recommended for most users.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q4_K_S.gguf 0.65 GB ~2.2 GB Q4_K_S ⭐⭐⭐½ Good speed/size balance, slight quality loss.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q5_K_M.gguf 0.79 GB ~2.3 GB Q5_K_M ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Better quality than Q4, slightly larger. Great if you have the RAM.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q5_K_S.gguf 0.77 GB ~2.3 GB Q5_K_S ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large but accurate.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q6_K.gguf 0.90 GB ~2.4 GB Q6_K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Near-perfect quality, very large.
LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf 1.16 GB ~2.7 GB Q8_0 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Closest to original quality. Use when RAM is not a concern.
💡 Which file should I download?
  • Most users: LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf — best balance of size and quality
  • High RAM (32GB+): LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf — near-original quality
  • Low RAM (8GB): LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Q3_K_M.gguf — fits in 8GB with room to spare

🔍 About GGUF Quantization

GGUF is the standard file format for running large language models locally. Quantization reduces the number of bits per weight:

Format Bits/weight Size vs FP16 Quality
Q2_K ~2.6 16% ⭐
Q3_K_M ~3.3 21% ⭐⭐⭐
Q4_K_M ~4.5 28% ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ← sweet spot
Q5_K_M ~5.6 35% ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
Q8_0 ~8.5 53% ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
