Liquid AI, a Massachusetts-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup, announced its first generative AI models not built on the existing transformer architecture. Dubbed Liquid Foundation Model (LFM), the new architecture moves away from Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) which is the foundation for popular AI models such as the GPT series by OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot, and more. The startup claims that the new AI models were built from first principles and they outperform large language models (LLMs) in the comparable size bracket.
