Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-1.2B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

How was LFM2 converted to ONNX? Is custom configuration needed for fine-tuned models

Hi LiquidAI team,

Not sure, if this would be a better place to open this discussion rather than the ONNX-Community: https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/LFM2-1.2B-ONNX/discussions/1

I'm trying to convert a fine-tuned LFM2-1.2B model to ONNX but running into issues with the hybrid architecture (conv + attention layers).

My questions:

How did you successfully convert the base LFM2 models to ONNX?

Can you share the custom ONNX configuration you used?

Is it possible to convert fine-tuned LFM2 models using the same approach?

Is there a notebook I can follow along?

Use case: I have a fine-tuned LFM2-1.2B model that I need to deploy in ONNX format for edge inference using transformers.js.
Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thanks!
