About this model
LFM2 is a family of hybrid models designed for on-device deployment. LFM2-24B-A2B is the largest model in the family, scaling the architecture to 24 billion parameters while keeping inference efficient.
- Best-in-class efficiency: A 24B MoE model with only 2B active parameters per token, fitting in 32 GB of RAM for deployment on consumer laptops and desktops.
- Fast edge inference: 112 tok/s decode on AMD CPU, 293 tok/s on H100. Fits in 32B GB of RAM.
- Predictable scaling: Quality improves log-linearly from 350M to 24B total parameters, confirming the LFM2 hybrid architecture scales reliably across nearly two orders of magnitude.
Can I run LFM2 24B locally?
- Can I run LFM2 24B locally?
- LFM2 24B needs about 13.4 GB of memory at a minimum and 22.4 GB recommended. Open this page to grade it against your GPU or Mac, then run it with runai, Ollama or LM Studio.
- How much VRAM does LFM2 24B need?
- At Q4_K_M, LFM2 24B uses about 12.8 GB of VRAM. Higher quants need more memory; lower quants fit tighter cards with a quality tradeoff.
