When Liquid AI, a startup founded by MIT computer scientists back in 2023, introduced its Liquid Foundation Models series 2 (LFM2) in July 2025, the pitch was straightforward: deliver the fastest on-device foundation models on the market using the new "liquid" architecture, with training and inference efficiency that made small models a serious alternative to cloud-only large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT series and Google's Gemini. The initial release shipped dense checkpoints at 350M, 700M,.

In the chaotic world of Large Language Model (LLM) optimization, engineers have spent the last few years developing increasingly esoteric rituals to get better answers. We’ve seen "Chain of Thought" (asking the model to think step-by-step and often, show those "reasoning traces" to the user), "Emotional Blackmail" (telling the model its career depends on the answer, or that it is being accused of sexual misconduct), and complex multi-shot prompting frameworks.But...

Our LLM API bill was growing 30% month-over-month. Traffic was increasing, but not that fast. When I analyzed our query logs, I found the real problem: Users ask the same questions in different ways."What's your return policy?," "How do I return something?", and "Can I get a refund?" were all hitting our LLM separately, generating nearly identical responses, each incurring full API costs.Exact-match caching, the obvious first solution, captured only...
