The Standard Model predicts lepton flavor universality (LFU). Measurements of b → s l l decays at the LHCb experiments provide hints of LFU violation. We consider four leptoquark models that can modify LFU in these decays. We examine whether they can explain the anomalies while being consistent with various measurements of related processes.
