LFM3-1.7B (Q4_K_M) — Mercan format
This repository repackages LiquidAI/LFM3-1.7B
by Liquid AI as a single .mercan file for the Mercan runtime
and the Mercan iOS app. It is not an official Liquid AI release and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Liquid AI.
What was changed
model.mercan is the official
LFM3-1.7B-Q4_K_M.gguf from Liquid AI with
only metadata added. The tensors and all original metadata are copied byte-for-byte; no
weights were modified, re-quantized, or fine-tuned.

The conversion tool is
scripts/gguf_to_mercan.py;
model.mercan.json lists the source and output SHA-256 values.
Usage

LFM3 is a reasoning model. The runtime opens a <think> block and hides the reasoning, so
answers can take a while on longer questions.
