AI Model Atlas / Liquid AI

LFM2.5-2.6B (free)

Model available without token fees. Context window has 66k tokens, or about 109 A4 pages of text.

Data from 11 November 2026 API identifier: liquid/lfm-2.5-2.6b:free

This model has a designated expiration date: 13 November 2026. After this date the provider may cut off API access. If you're building something long-term on it, it's worth choosing a successor right away.

What it costs in practice

Pricing per million tokens doesn't mean anything to anyone, so I convert it to three tasks that people actually give to models. The usage assumptions are listed for each row so you can verify them.

TaskInputOutputCost
1500-word articlebrief plus finished text in English 1,500 tokens 2,200 tokens $0
100 chat queries700 tokens per question and 400 per answer 70,000 tokens 40,000 tokens $0
Hour of work with an agentagent reads repository and writes fixes 250,000 tokens 30,000 tokens $0
The calculation does not include tax, intermediary markup, or context caching, which with repeated prompts can cut input costs by several dozen percent.

The chart shows the price of a million input tokens on consecutive measurement days. History starts on the day I launched the atlas and grows with each day. I don't backfill data.
