LFM2.5-2.6B just dropped!
and the @liquidai blog comes with some nice details about the training procedure, so let's analyze it.
basically, a full agent training pipeline but compressed into 2.6B
base model → SFT → specialized teachers per domain (SFT + RLVR) → on-policy distillation back into one student → agentic RL
the two most interesting stages
→ MOPD: the student generates, each prompt routes to its domain teacher for token-level feedback. teachers branch from the same SFT checkpoint, so their signal stays close to the student's distribution
→ agentic RL: multi-turn GRPO inside real harnesses (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent), one sandbox per rollout, a proxy captures token-level trajectories while the harness stays a black box
this makes a 2.6B that beats much larger models on instruction following and tool use
SFT, distillation, RL, RL envs: exactly what we're covering in our Training Agents livestream series (next one coming soon!)
