# Liquid AI releases a fast open vision model for edge devices

*2026-08-12 · Source: [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/blog/LiquidAI/lfm2-5-vl-3b)*

Liquid AI published LFM2.5-VL-3B on Hugging Face, a 3-billion-parameter vision-language model built for faster performance on edge hardware.

**Why it matters:** Small, efficient vision-language models are what make on-device features like camera understanding and local assistants practical without a cloud round-trip. This continues the broader trend of shrinking multimodal capability toward phone- and laptop-class hardware, alongside Nvidia's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning already covered.

**Topics:** llms, open source
