LFM3-1.7B-NPU2 (FastFlowLM)

LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B packaged for the AMD Ryzen™ AI NPU (XDNA2) with FastFlowLM. The weights are the vendor's quantization-aware-distilled Q4_0 build (LFM3-1.7B-GGUF, QAD-Q4_0); the tied embedding / LM head is stored as Q4_1. The package holds the converted weights (model.q4nx), the tokenizer and the chat template; it runs only with FastFlowLM (version 1.0.11 or later).

Model

• 24 layers: 13 gated short-convolution (width 7), 5 sliding-window attention (window 256), 6 full attention
• hidden 2048, FFN 7680, 16 query / 4 KV heads, head dim 128, per-head sigmoid attention gate, sandwich RMSNorms, vocab 128000
• ChatML prompt format; thinking is on by default and can be switched off; tool calls use the Qwen-style XML format
• up to 32k tokens of context in FastFlowLM (the model supports 256k)
• FastFlowLM: 1.0.11 or later
• LiquidAI's recommended sampling is the default: temperature 0.1, top_k 50, repetition penalty 1.1

Performance (FastFlowLM on an AMD Ryzen™ AI MAX+ PRO 395, NPU only)

Accuracy

The NPU computes in bf16, so its logits differ slightly from a PyTorch reference run on the same quantized weights.

Greedy output on the project's golden prompts is identical to the reference. Running the attention layers on the CPU (LFM3_DECODE=conv) raises GSM8K to 84.0% at a lower decoding speed.
