Text / AtomicChat · Liquid AI base model

LFM3-1.7B Uncensored

A compact, community-modified text model for private chat on phones and computers. AtomicChat reduces refusal behavior in Liquid AI’s LFM3-1.7B and distributes GGUF files starting at 1.13 GB. Use OnDevice on compatible iPhones; Android loading remains unverified.

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.

Check the date source
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.

PHONE COMPATIBILITY

Using it on iPhone

Compatible iPhones · OnDevice · iOS 18+

Use this setup on a compatible iPhone with enough available memory for the model. The confirmed run used an iPhone 16; that is a tested example, not an exclusive device requirement. PocketPal failed to load the same file in that test. These observations apply to the reported setup; no speed, memory benchmark, or Android result was supplied.

Android instructions in the workflow are based on the apps’ current import documentation. Exact-model compatibility is still unverified. Downloading a GGUF is separate from successfully loading its architecture.

Choose your download

Use AD-Q4_K_M first. File sizes below are decimal GB, not the amount of RAM required to run the model.

PackageDownloadChoose it for
AD-Q4_K_M1.13 GBStart here for the phone workflow.
AD-Q6_K1.59 GBHigher precision and a larger memory footprint; this phone route has not been separately verified.

Keep at least 3 GB free for the smaller file and a possible imported copy. This storage allowance is an estimate. Q6 and longer context need additional headroom.

PUBLISHER-REPORTED RESULTS

What changed in the uncensored version?

AtomicChat reports these results for its modification of Liquid AI’s model. They are not independent YouRunAI benchmarks or phone performance measurements.

EvaluationOriginalUncensored
Refusals on harmful prompts61.7%0.0%
False refusals · XSTest5.2%0.0%
MMLU · 2,000 questions41.0%41.0%

Zero refusals in a finite evaluation does not guarantee that every request will be answered. The unchanged MMLU result does not establish unchanged performance on all tasks.

Read AtomicChat’s evaluation

Best for

  • Keep lightweight text conversations on your phone using a local inference app.
  • Chat privately in your browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux using llama.cpp.
  • Experiment with short summaries, rewriting, and simple questions, checking the answers yourself.

Tradeoffs

  • Reduced refusal behavior does not improve factual accuracy. Liquid AI cautions against complex multi-step reasoning and agentic coding with the small base model.
  • The 256K native context ceiling is not a practical phone setting or a measured limit of this GGUF in OnDevice. Begin with 4,096 tokens where configurable and reduce it if memory is tight.
  • GGUF import alone does not establish LFM3 support. PocketPal failed to load this file in the user’s test; that observation does not describe every version or device.
  • Layla and ChatterUI document local GGUF importing, but loading this exact AtomicChat checkpoint on Android has not been verified for this guide.
  • Offline generation requires a local model and disabled cloud/web features. App downloads, updates, and optional online tools still use a network connection.

Ways to run it

OnDevice: Local AI Studio · iPhone · OnDevice · iOS 18+

This route is for compatible iPhones with iOS 18 or later and enough available memory. OnDevice documents LFM3 support; performance and model loading depend on the device. Follow the linked phone workflow for model import and everyday offline chat. The app version, memory use, and token speed of the reported run were not recorded.

Official instructions

Layla / ChatterUI · Android · experimental import paths

These apps document importing a local GGUF; their packaged runtime support for this exact LFM3 checkpoint is unverified. Follow the Android section’s documented steps, then confirm model load and offline generation. An unsupported-architecture error needs a runtime update; a larger quantization will not fix it.

Official instructions

llama.cpp with LFM3 support · Desktop · publisher-documented runtime

AtomicChat requires a build containing LFM3 support (upstream PR #31252; its producer revision was 19cce69). Use the model card’s exact runtime instructions. No desktop application or hardware combination was independently tested for this page.

Official instructions

What to expect

Start with the 1.13 GB AD-Q4_K_M file in OnDevice on a compatible iPhone. Use the phone guide for iPhone and experimental Android imports, or the desktop guide for private browser chat with llama.cpp on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
