## Summary

LM Studio says LFM3 is now available in its app, and the model fits in about 1 GB of memory. The model page is at lmstudio.ai/models/lfm3. The quoted Liquid AI post describes the LFM3 family as six instances across text, audio, vision, and omni modalities, including the 1.7B text model with a 256k context window.
