Mirai-L is on the size-KL Pareto frontier: we found no checkpoint that is smaller while also having lower KL divergence.

Evaluation data mixture: 45% public agentic, 30% public SFT/long-context, 25% private chat data.

Quickstart

If you are on macOS, the easiest way is to install the mirai Homebrew package and then run the CLI:

brew install mirai
mirai --model trymirai/LFM2.5-230M-L

Currently only Apple silicon inference is supported. If you want to build things from source, read this overview.

Method

Mirai Large uses 8-bit symmetric integer quantization with bfloat16 scales and group size 64. Block-diagonal Random Hadamard Transforms with block size 32 are used to reduce activation and weight outliers. The checkpoint was prepared with post-training quantization.
