Liquid AI
Liquid AI is an MIT CSAIL spinout building Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs), a family of general-purpose AI models engineered to run fast and privately on-device - phones, laptops, wearables, and cars - instead of relying on the cloud. Rooted in the founders' 'liquid neural network' research inspired by the nervous system of a roundworm, the company pairs a first-principles model architecture with LEAP, a developer platform that deploys models into mobile apps in a few lines of code, and Apollo, a fully local AI chat app. It raised a $250M Series A led by AMD in December 2024 at a roughly $2.35B valuation.

Ramin Hasani is the co-founder and CEO of Liquid AI, the MIT CSAIL spin-off building Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) - a family of general-purpose AI systems descended from his work on liquid neural networks. Inspired by the 302-neuron nervous system of the C. elegans worm, his continuous-time architectures adapt after training and run efficiently on edge hardware. Liquid AI raised a $250M Series A led by AMD in December 2024 at a $2.35B valuation.
