Huh, 1.6B/2B/4B models, I guess they weren't joking when they said "not as powerful as ChatGPT or Claude Code". Also unsure why they said "Claude Code", it's not an CLI agent AFAIK?
This seems to be a general chat app, but otherwise small models can be very effective within the right use cases and orchestration.

Claude Code is a Desktop app as well.
I so wanted to love Liquid AI's models, but despite their speed I was never able to get anything useful out of them. Even their larger models can't be trusted with simple stuff like inserting a column into a markdown table. The advertised tool calling is also not great. What I found interesting was that the ones I tried were a little light on guardrails.
I would really like to know what people use these small and tiny models for. If any high-karma users are reading it, would you consider posting Ask HN?
