DeepSeek + Local 3B Vision Model Powers Cloud-Free Agent Browsing
helloiamleonie · x · 2026-08-12
A developer shared a powerful combo in Hermes Agent: pairing DeepSeek V4 Flash with Liquid AI's LFM2.5-VL-3B vision model.
- Division of Labor: DeepSeek handles the core agentic workload, while the 3B LFM2.5-VL-3B acts as the local vision module giving the agent "eyes."
- Fully Local Vision: In testing, the agent browsed the web using only the local vision model—it successfully read Hacker News, opened an eclipse map, and found an Iceland live webcam.
- Strong Benchmarks: Despite its tiny size, the LFM2.5-VL-3B outperforms models up to 2.6x its size on benchmarks like ScreenSpot-v2 and RealWorldQA.
