LFM2.5 2.6B · OpenRouter

A small reasoning model for retrieval, extraction and tools. The publisher does not recommend it for agentic coding or knowledge-heavy tasks. This is newly discovered hosting, not a newly dated model release.

Catalog added 2026-08-11 UTC · Checked 2026-11-03. Catalog addition and provider launch are separate dates.

We still need comparable independent tests. You can compare the confirmed features and limits below, but we cannot yet give this version an Agent Fit or Practical Value rating. Test it on your own tasks before switching; results for another version or thinking setting may not apply.

What you can use today

Token prices measure the small pieces of text the model reads or produces. Capacity is the amount the service accepts in a request; check the limits below for any fallback to another model. A dash means the rate is unverified.

Exact catalog ID: liquid/lfm-2.5-2.6b. Reasoning is always enabled. Named effort levels and a default effort are not established.

Downloadable weights use the LFM Open License; review its commercial-use conditions. Hosting access and data terms are separate.

OpenRouter lists 128,000 context and 8,192 maximum output tokens. The separate downloadable checkpoint declares 131,072 context.

This offer lists $0.35 input, $0.04 cached input and $0.50 output per million tokens. Allow for retries and any tool fees. Models that think before answering may also charge for that work.

Test it before switching

Give each model the same examples, tools and definition of success. Record correct outcomes, response time, retries and total cost. A cheaper token price does not guarantee a cheaper completed task.
