All three use custom mixed precision. Filename quantization suffixes identify the main format family; the heatmaps below show the actual tensor formats. Select the exact filename when downloading.

Held-out evaluation
EAR means Expected Acceptance Rate, measured against the BF16 reference. Each language uses 64 sequences of 2,048 tokens. English uses the existing FineWeb-Edu held-out set; French, Japanese, and Hindi use FineWeb2 test text. Every checkpoint in a language chart uses the same text and reference.
EAR measured on different text is not directly comparable. Compare checkpoints within each language chart.

Run with llama.cpp
Use a llama.cpp build with LFM3 support. For example, download the RCO + GSQ Q6_K-family checkpoint:
hf download kaitchup/LFM3-1.7B-GSQ-GGUF \
LFM3-1.7B-GSQ-Q6_K_RCO.gguf --local-dir .
llama-server \
--model LFM3-1.7B-GSQ-Q6_K_RCO.gguf \
--n-gpu-layers 99 --ctx-size 8192 --port 8080
Use another exact filename from the table to select a different checkpoint.
