LFM2.5-DSpark is roughly 296M to 328M parameters, paired with LFM2.5 1.2B, 2.6B and 8B-A1B targets. Reported: up to 3.18x on GPU, 2.87x on-device, the 2.6B hitting 2.67x on an H100 and 2.27x on an M4 Max MacBook. Hugging Face The design combines a DFlash-style parallel backbone, a lightweight sequential head, and a confidence-scheduled verifier, with Safetensors and GGUF builds shipping day-one llama.cpp and SGLang support. The function-calling number is the one that matters for agents, where latency compounds across a tool chain.
