Liquid AI Releases Open-Weight d1-3B and d1-omni-600M: Multimodal Decision Models With Zero Output Tokens

Zero output tokens. Liquid AI's new d1 models make real-time decisions in a single forward pass—no token streaming, no latency tax.

Why it matters

Liquid AI releases open-weight multimodal decision models (d1-3B, d1-omni-600M) that return typed, calibrated answers without generating text tokens. This challenges the token-streaming paradigm for latency-sensitive inference and offers a different model architecture for real-time classification and structured decision tasks.

The key facts

7 to know
  1. Two models released: d1-3B (text+image) and d1-omni-600M (text+image or text+audio)

  2. Zero output tokens—answers returned in one forward pass with no text generation

  3. Calibrated, typed outputs (classification/structured answers, not free text)

  4. Target use case: real-time decisions with sub-token latency requirements

  5. Open-weight release (weights available for deployment)

  6. Multimodal architecture (vision and/or audio alongside text)

  7. Decision-model family positioning (not general-purpose generation)

Publisher excerpt: Liquid AI has released Open d1, two open-weight multimodal models in its d1 decision model family. d1-3B reads text and images. d1-omni-600M reads text with an image, or text with audio. Neither model writes text. Each returns calibrated, typed answers in one forward pass with zero output tokens.…
