Open-source AI models with Russian language support

This collection lists open models whose developers declare Russian language support for text, speech, documents and search. It is a starting point for projects serving Russian-speaking customers or handling Russian documents. Declared support does not guarantee quality, so test the model on your own examples and check the license and hardware requirements.

Liquid d1

Liquid AI · USA

Small decision models: from text, an image or a voice clip they answer yes or no, pick an option or give a rating in one pass, without writing text. d1-3B sees images, d1-omni-600M also hears speech up to 30 seconds. Russian is listed. The open d1-2B (text, pictures and video, based on LFM3-VL-2B) and d1-Omni-2B (sound as well) decide in milliseconds, 5.7 ms on an H100 by the authors measurements; besides choosing an answer they pull out text, numbers and dates with their positions and find objects in a picture. It is not a chat model.

Liquid LFM

Liquid AI · USA

Models with a new architecture for on-device use: fast on a regular CPU and on phones. Versions for data extraction, RAG and tools, plus LFM2.5-VL for images and voice LFM2.5-Audio. The largest, LFM2.5-24B-A2B (2.45B active, 131K-token context, Russian in the language list), always reasons before answering and targets fast on-device agents. In October the LFM3 generation came out on a new tri-hybrid architecture: LFM3-1.7B for local agents (256 thousand tokens of context, about 1 GB of memory at 4 bits, pre-trained on 22 trillion tokens), LFM3-VL-2B for images, LFM3-Audio-2B for speech and LFM3-Omni-2B, which understands text, images, video and sound and answers in text and speech. The authors do not recommend it for complex code and multi-step reasoning.
