Longevity-LLM - LFM2-2.6B
Longevity-LLM (L-LLM) is a family of compact, domain-adapted language models for interpreting heterogeneous aging biology data. Longevity LFMs are available in two sizes:
- LFM2-1.2B-Longevity
- LFM2-2.6B-Longevity (this model)
This checkpoint, L-LFM2-2.6B, was produced by full-parameter supervised fine-tuning of LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B on aging-related multi-omics and clinical data.
The family was developed jointly by Insilico Medicine and Liquid AI and accompanies the study "An Open Benchmark and Language Models for AI in Aging Biology" (Zhavoronkov et al., 2026).
Model details
- Base model: LiquidAI/LFM2-2.6B
- Architecture: Hybrid Liquid model with multiplicative gates and short convolutions.
- Context length: 32,768 tokens
- Language: English
Training data. The model was trained on the shared L-LLM corpus spanning aging biology. See LongevityBench for more details.
Training procedure. L-LFM2-2.6B was trained with full-parameter supervised fine-tuning. Prompts were formatted in ChatML with a dynamic-thinking template (user turns suffixed with /think or /no_think to select response mode at inference).
Chat Template
LFM2 uses a ChatML-like format. See the Chat Template documentation for details. Example:
<|startoftext|><|im_start|>system
You are a biomedical AI specialized in aging biology, trained on genomic, proteomic, and clinical data.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Which of the following two Melanoma cases has had a longer progression-free interval after the initial RNAseq screening?
Options:
Patient-A: A 77-year-old male diagnosed with Stage I, TT2a, NNX, MM0 disease non-ulcerated, Clark level III;
Patient-B: A 85-year-old male diagnosed with Stage III, TTX, NN2, MM0 disease
GSEA results:
No significant pathway differences detected.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can use tokenizer.apply_chat_template() to format your messages automatically.
Inference
LFM2 is supported by many inference frameworks. See the Inference documentation for the full list.

Intended use and limitations
Intended for research on aging biology and omics interpretation. Outputs are model predictions, not clinical advice, and should be validated experimentally. Performance is strongest on the modalities represented in the training corpus.
