Building Agentic Document Intelligence Pipelines: Creating Scientific Figures with AutoFigure

In this tutorial, we explore AutoFigure as a practical toolkit for generating scientific figures directly from text descriptions, paper-like content, and structured methodological explanations. In this tutorial, we set up the complete AutoFigure environment, fix dependency issues such as Pillow compatibility, and prepare the required rendering tools for SVG and PNG outputs. We then build

Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-DSpark Draft Models That Deliver Up to 3.18x Faster Decoding Without Changing Model Outputs

Liquid AI has released DSpark draft model checkpoints for three models in its LFM2.5 family: LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct, LFM2.5-2.6B, and LFM2.5-8B-A1B. Each drafter adds a speculative decoding path to an existing target model. A roughly 300M-parameter draft proposes a block of nine candidate tokens, and the target model verifies the whole block in a single forward pass.
