Liquid AI’s 1.2B Model Claims to Break Efficiency Barriers, But the Benchmarks Tell a Messier Story

A deep dive into Liquid AI’s LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking model reveals impressive on-device performance claims, surprising benchmark tradeoffs, and the uncomfortable questions about quantization and licensing that edge AI developers must confront.

Jamba2 Mini: AI21’s Radical Bet That Enterprise AI Doesn’t Need Reasoning

AI21 Labs’ 52B parameter ‘mini’ model challenges the reasoning model orthodoxy with SSM-Transformer architecture and 256K context, claiming most enterprise tasks just need reliable information retrieval, not synthetic thought.

From Parameter Wars to Dream Cycles: The Architecture Shift That Changes Everything

Z.E.T.A. and the rise of persistent AI systems that dream about codebases during idle time represent a fundamental departure from brute-force model scaling toward dynamic, memory-augmented architectures.
