Open-weight instruction model for adaptable chat and self-hosted production workloads
LFM2 24B A2B by liquidai is offered by 2 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.03 per 1M input tokens and $0.12 per 1M output tokens.
Artificial Analysis rates it 5.9 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.052 per 1M, that is roughly 112 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.
The context window is 32,768 tokens, with an output limit of 32,768 tokens. It supports reasoning. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
| Provider | Tier | Input | Output | Cache read | Cache write | Context | Output limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pioneer LiquidAI/LFM2-24B-A2B | Gateway | $0.03 | $0.12 | $0.03 | $0.03 | 32,768 | 32,768 | |
| Together AI LiquidAI/LFM2-24B-A2B | Cloud | $0.03 | $0.12 | — | — | 32,768 | 32,768 |
Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
Interleaved thinking (reasoning between tool calls) is declared by 1 of 2 providers.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
