LiquidAI: LFM2-24B-A2B
Analysis Summary
LiquidAI's LFM2-24B-A2B is a sparse mixture-of-experts model activating 2B parameters from a 24B total, priced at $0.03/1M input tokens. It is one of the cheapest models available with any benchmark data. However, the intelligence and coding indices are very low, placing it well below models suitable for complex reasoning, coding, or agentic workflows. The agentic index is also minimal, and there is no vision or tool-use support.
For businesses, this model is limited to the simplest text generation tasks: basic summarisation, classification, or templated content where cost is the overriding concern and quality requirements are low. It is not suitable for coding, multi-step reasoning, or any workflow requiring reliable instruction following.
At $0.03/1M input, the cost advantage is real, but the capability ceiling is low. Teams running very high-volume, low-complexity tasks may find it useful as a pre-filter or triage layer, but it should not be used as a primary model for client-facing or business-critical outputs.
