What the LFM2.5-230M numbers mean

The fastest verified result on our board is 520.0 output tok/s on an Radeon AI Pro R9700 at MQ4 with a 4096-token context. That is about 1.9 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 1.0 seconds. Across the 3 records we hold for this model the range is 226.3–520.0 tok/s on 3 GPUs, because quantisation, context length and the engine build all move the number.

How much VRAM does LFM2.5-230M need?

LFM2.5-230M has 0.2B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

Quantisation	Estimated VRAM	Smallest card that fits
Q4_K_M (4-bit)	0.9 GB	8 GB
Q8_0 (8-bit)	1.1 GB	8 GB
FP16 (16-bit)	1.3 GB	8 GB

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
