36Kr · AI NVIDIA has launched a local AI speech model, with new models and agent tools added to RTX Spark.
The Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe open-weight speech model now supports RTX Spark, enabling speech transcription, speaker recognition, and translation, supporting 40 languages. The Liquid AI LFM3 series models have also been supported and can be run locally and fine-tuned. The RTX Spark laptop starts at $2599, with the highest configuration of 128GB unified memory, and FP4 AI computing power up to 1 petaflop.
ITHome · AI Liquid AI releases the LFM3 model family, with the first batch of multiple models based on LFM3-1.7B-Base
Liquid AI releases the LFM3 model family, with the first batch of multiple models based on LFM3-1.7B-Base, among which LFM-1.7B has a 256K context window, outperforming the previous generation LFM2.5-2.6B while reducing parameters by 35%
Ollama releasesLiquid AI releases LFM3 small model family and d1 decision model v0.40.12
Liquid AI releases the LFM3 small model family, including the 1.7B parameter lfm3 text model (256K token context), lfm3-vl supporting image understanding, lfm3-audio with 18 language speech processing capabilities, and the general model lfm3-omni for local agents and structured output; the d1 decision model is upgraded to 2B parameters, supporting text, image, and audio decision-making, with some models supporting Apple hardware.
Hugging Face BlogFeatured7676Liquid AI releases LFM3 series: Same 2B backbone derived text, visual, audio, multimodal and decision models
Liquid AI releases the new generation Liquid Foundation Models, LFM3, deriving six 2B-level models from the shared backbone LFM3-1.7B-Base, covering text, vision, audio, multimodal, and decision, all open weights on Hugging Face.
Why it matters: Liquid AI derives six modality models from the same 2B-level backbone and provides single-card fine-tuning and edge deployment paths, which can be used to judge the specialization route for small models.
Ollama releasesLiquid AI releases LFM3 small model family and d1 decision model v0.40.12-rc1
Liquid AI has released the LFM3 small model family, including the 1.7B parameter text model lfm3 and variants supporting image and audio functions, with a context window of up to 256K tokens; the d1 decision model has been upgraded to 2B parameters, supporting text, image, and audio inference, with Apple hardware already supporting the rc1 version.
