AI is happening. The future is updating.LFM2.5-cmf
LiquidAI's LFM2.5 is a hybrid: most layers mix with a short gated convolution and only a few carry full attention, so the state a token needs is small and constant where the convolution runs. These are those checkpoints in the CMF container — a single memory-mapped file read by `cortiq`, a Rust binary with no ML framework under it. GPU via Vulkan/Metal/DX12 with a CPU fallback; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and Apple silicon read the same file. All three are 4-bit tiled with ladder scales (`q4tp`), quantized straight from the bf16 checkpoints. Steady-state decode, `cortiq bench --core`, single stream, cortiq **0.5.99+** (the whole-token graph learned this family's short-conv mixer and its sigmoid-routed MoE in 0.5.98/0.5.99 — earlier versions decode it an order of magnitude slower).
