Liquid AI releases open-weight decision models for edge devices
Liquid AI releases open-weight decision models for edge devices
Brief overview
Liquid AI released d1-3B and the experimental d1-omni-600M on Hugging Face. These models choose an answer in a single forward pass rather than generating a token sequence. d1-3B accepts text and images; the smaller experimental model also supports text-and-audio inputs. The company reports 8 ms for d1-3B on an RTX 4090 and 50 ms on a Jetson Orin Nano.
Why it matters
Editorial takeaway: a constrained choice or routing task may not need a full chat model. Evaluate the models on your own answer options and hardware; the latency figures are the publisher's measurements, and the smaller checkpoint is explicitly experimental.
