LiquidAI: LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking (free)
Analysis Summary
LiquidAI's LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking is a small, free-to-use model with tool use and function calling enabled, but its benchmark scores across reasoning, science, and instruction following are all very low, reflecting its compact 1.2B parameter size. Context is limited to 32K tokens.
It may have a role in edge deployment or cost-sensitive automation where basic function calling is needed and quality expectations are low, but it is not suitable for client-facing content or non-trivial reasoning tasks.
Use it only for lightweight, well-defined automation tasks; anything requiring depth of reasoning or coding should go to a larger model.
