LFM2.5 VL 3B DSpark GGUF

LFM2.5 VL 3B DSpark GGUF is a GGUF build of LiquidAI/LFM2.5-VL-3B-DSpark for llama.cpp. It is a standalone draft sidecar containing only a drafter with 4 attention layers, a Markov head, a confidence head, and block size 9, used for speculative decoding with a compatible LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF target model. Token embeddings and the LM head are shared from the target model at load time, so pairing with the target file is required. The supplied F16 drafter file is 567 MB. Speculative decoding is described as exact under greedy decoding because the target verifies every proposed token.

What do these scores mean?

Two ways to compare models. Neither score measures answer quality, benchmark performance, or whether a model fits your machine.

Freshness · release age

A new release starts at 100. The score halves every 180 days: 100 × 2^(−age in days / 180). When the release date is unavailable, a repository date is a fallback—not proof of when the model was released. Missing dates stay unscored.

Popularity · adoption

Downloads over the past 30 days carry 80% of the score; lifetime likes carry 20%. Both use a logarithmic scale, capped at 10 million downloads and 100,000 likes. If likes are unavailable, downloads carry all the weight. Missing download statistics stay unscored.

round(80 × min(1, log10(1 + downloads) / 7) + 20 × min(1, log10(1 + likes) / 5))

Best for

  • Running speculative decoding with a paired LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF target model in llama.cpp.
  • Serving image-text-to-text tasks with the target plus drafter setup in llama.cpp.
  • Using the drafter as a sidecar for the LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF target model.
  • Testing draft acceptance rate through llama.cpp timing logs when paired with a compatible target.
  • Using the GGUF drafter on Apple silicon with recommended block size 8 via --spec-draft-n-max 8.

Tradeoffs

  • Not a standalone model; it must be paired with the LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF target file, which supplies token embeddings and the LM head.
  • Requires a compatible LFM2.5-VL-3B-GGUF target; other target models are not stated as supported.
  • It is a draft sidecar for speculative decoding, not a full vision-language model by itself.
  • The supplied file is an F16 drafter only; no other quantization files are listed.
  • Performance, compatibility, hardware requirements beyond the provided run command, and purchase suitability are not stated in the supplied facts.
