It appears to be about as smart as Qwen 3.5 9b but maybe not as good as Ling 3.0 Tiny 8b-a1b

LFM3 1.7B and omni are surprisingly usable.

The official q8 quants are super fast but much much lower quality, so if you can go with the native bf16 weights.

I want to try fine tuning the q8 though for specific tasks, it seems like you cod get a really good balance

    Looking forward to testing these models! Lfm2 and 2.5 were solid!
