Instructions to use LiquidAI/LFM2-350M with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use LiquidAI/LFM2-350M with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="LiquidAI/LFM2-350M")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-350M")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LiquidAI/LFM2-350M")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Conversion to ONNX

After finetuning according to the suggested collab notebook, how do I convert to ONNX for running with WebGPU?

@imandel would https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/LFM2-350M-ONNX work for you?

That model works great! I was more curious what scripts are used to convert to ONNX? LFM2 does note seem to be currently supported by huggingface optimum. If I'm starting with the current LiquidAI/LFM2-350M model, or a finetune with a LoRA adapter, i then need to convert it to ONNX myself rather than using the existing model you linked.
