Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

No API provider serves it, so its downloads are people running it themselves: 42 quantized builds.

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 1.3 GB at INT4, 2.6 GB at FP8, 5.2 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

The story so far

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.

2 dated articles and 0 repo commits so far

Teal is the weights (2026-10-21), amber triangles are 2 dated articles (each links to it).

What people built on it

64 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

64 derivatives on the Hub, most of them quantized

From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.

Use-case evidence

4 use cases

What it is good at 4 use cases

Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

LFM3-Omni-2B enables video chat with text and audio replies, supporting interruption via speech or button press. The project offers ONNX and Apple Silicon MLX backends, with Smart Turn v3.2 running on the CPU to distinguish thinking pauses from sentence ends. Localhost access requires no SSL, but remote connections need a certificate valid for 365 days generated via openssl.written, reviewed, cited
  • The ONNX backend runs without PyTorch by using q4 quantization for CPU or q4f16 for NVIDIA GPUs.
  • The experimental Apple Silicon version utilizes the 8-bit LFM3-Omni model with the MLX framework.
  • The Smart Turn model folder must be preserved to reuse downloads, as deleting it removes the local copy.
