d1 makes a decision rather than writing a reply
Gorden Sun introduced Liquid AI’s d1 family. The d1-3B model card describes a single forward pass over text, JSON or image state plus specified questions, returning typed decisions and confidence information rather than autoregressive chat text.
The public model has about 3.12 billion parameters and a 32,768-token context. Routing, triage, classification, reranking and visual inspection are proposed uses. Zero generated output tokens describes its computation, not free execution.
The card reports median warm single-question latency of 8 ms on an RTX 4090 and 50 ms on a Jetson Orin Nano under specified precision, compilation and warm-up conditions. A longer 3.4K-token state takes 102 ms and 1,640 ms respectively. The headline latency is not a guarantee for arbitrary input.
These are publisher measurements, not our hardware tests. Weights use LFM Open License 1.0; availability does not establish unrestricted open-source licensing. Another model in the family has separate capabilities.
