LiquidAI: LFM3-1.7B (free)
liquid/lfm-3-1.7b:free
Model weightsA compact 1.7B-parameter text model with a 256K-token context, post-trained for agents, tool calling, and structured outputs. It reasons before it answers. Prompts and outputs may be retained and used to train Liquid models.
Providers
This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request without routing.

Performance
Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
Apps
Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity
Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.
API
Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
