Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-2.6B, a 2.6-billion-parameter model that can run multi-step AI agents directly on a laptop or phone — no cloud API required. The University NetworkOn August 4, 2026, Liquid AI released LFM2.5-2.6B, a 2.6-billion-parameter language model designed to run full AI agents — not just a chatbot, but a system that can call tools, execute multi-step plans, and use web search — directly on consumer hardware. That cost structure effectively locked agentic AI behind a subscription or a well-funded lab budget. A Hugging Face Space demo lets anyone try the model’s agentic capabilities in a browser with no local setup at all. Source: Liquid AI, “LFM2.5-2.6B: Deploy Agents Everywhere”, Liquid AI Blog, Aug 2026
