# candle-lfm2: LFM2.5 (Liquid Foundation Model 2.5)
[LFM2.5](https://www.liquid.ai/) is a hybrid architecture from LiquidAI that combines
attention and short convolution layers for efficient sequence processing.
## Running the example
```bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --release -- --prompt "The capital of France is"
```
For the "thinking" model variant with chat template:
```bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --release -- \
--which lfm2.5-1.2b-thinking \
--prompt "<|im_start|>user\nWhat is 2+2?<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n"
```
On a CUDA-enabled machine with flash attention:
```bash
cargo run --example lfm2 --features cuda,flash-attn --release -- \
--use-flash-attn --prompt "The capital of France is"
```
