Liquid AI explains designing small models for phones and laptops

Liquid AI says building a model that runs on a phone or laptop makes pre-training harder, because quality has to come from better architecture and data rather than more compute.

In a post on X, the company says its pre-training team, including Aditya Tadimeti and Khoi Nguyen, explains how it designs its LFM models with the target device in mind from the start.
