AI Model Atlas / Liquid AI

LFM2.5-2.6B

One million input tokens cost $0.35 and one million output tokens $0.50. Context window: 128k tokens, about 213 A4 pages.

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

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.

The calculation does not include tax, intermediary markup, or context caching, which with repeated prompts can cut input costs by several dozen percent.
