Liquid AI, a startup founded by former MIT researchers, has released the Liquid Edge AI Platform (LEAP), a cross-platform software development kit (SDK) designed to make it easier for developers to integrate small language models (SLMs) directly into mobile applications. The SDK can be added to an iOS or Android project with just a few lines of code, and calling a local model is meant to feel as familiar as interacting with a traditional cloud API. LEAP is OS- and model-agnostic by design, supporting both iOS and Android, and offers compatibility with Liquid AI’s own liquid foundation models (LFMs) as well as many popular open-source small models. The platform aims to create a unified ecosystem for edge AI, offering tools for rapid iteration and deployment in real-world mobile environments. The company also released Apollo, a free iOS app that allows developers and users to interact with LEAP-compatible models in a local, offline setting. The LEAP SDK release builds on Liquid AI’s announcement of LFM2, its second-generation foundation model family designed specifically for on-device workloads. The platform is currently free to use under a developer license, with premium enterprise features available under a separate commercial license in the future.
