LiquidAI/LFM2-8B-A1B just dropped!
8.3B params with only 1.5B active/token 🚀
> Quality ≈ 3–4B dense, yet faster than Qwen3-1.7B
> MoE designed to run on phones/laptops (llama.cpp / vLLM)
> Pre-trained on 12T tokens → strong math/code/IF

⚛️ New drop of tiny task-specific models!
Want to do data extraction, translation, RAG, tool use, or math on a Raspberry Pi? We got you covered! ✅
These tiny models were fine-tuned to perform narrow tasks extremely well, making them competitive with much larger models.
You can deploy them today on-device or even on GPUs for big data operations!

Liquid just released two 450M and 1.6B param VLMs!
They're super fast and leverage SigLIP2 NaFlex encoders to handle native resolutions without distortion. It's ideal for on-device deployment in constrained environments like phones.
It's available today on Hugging Face, with an inference and a fine-tuning Colab notebooks.

LiquidAI
open-sources a new generation of edge LLMs! 🥳Based on a new hybrid architecture, these 350M, 700M, and 1.2B models are both fast and performant, ideal for on-device deployment.
I recommend fine-tuning them to power your next edge application. We already provide Colab notebooks to guide you. More to come soon!

✂️ AutoAbliteration
I made a Colab notebook to automatically abliterate models.
It's quite general, so you can do interesting stuff like blocking a given language in the model outputs.

✂️ Gemma 3 Abliterated
I noticed that Gemma 3 was much more resilient to refusal removal than other models like Qwen 2.5.
I experimented with different recipes and improved the abliteration technique I wrote about last year.
It's still experimental but the refusal rate is super low in my tests. Enjoy!

🆕 LLM Course 2025 edition!
I updated the LLM Scientist roadmap and added a ton of new information and references. It covers training, datasets, evaluation, quantization, and new trends like test-time compute scaling.
The LLM Course has been incredibly popular (41.3k stars!) and I've been touched to receive many, many messages about how it helped people in their careers.
I know how difficult this stuff can be, so I'm super proud of the impact it had. I want to keep updating it in 2025, especially with the LLM Engineer roadmap.
Thanks everyone, hope you'll enjoy it!

Large models are surprisingly bad storytellers.
I asked 8 LLMs to "Tell me a bedtime story about bears and waffles."
Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o gave me the worst stories: no conflict, no moral, zero creativity.
In contrast, smaller models were quite creative and wrote stories involving talking waffle trees and bears ostracized for their love of waffles.
Here you can see a comparison between Claude 3.5 Sonnet and NeuralDaredevil-8B-abliterated. They both start with a family of bears but quickly diverge in terms of personality, conflict, etc.
I mapped it to the hero's journey to have some kind of framework. Prompt engineering can definitely help here, but it's still disappointing that the larger models don't create better stories right off the bat.
Do you know why smaller models outperform the frontier models here?

✂️ Uncensor any LLM with abliteration
I wrote an article about abliteration and how NeuralDaredevil-8B was created. Beyond removing alignment, I believe it's an interesting technique with a lot of potential. It's basically fine-tuning without retraining.
In this article, we see how it works, implement it in Google Colab, and heal the abliterated model to recover the performance drop due to this technique. The final model is an uncensored and high-quality model with the highest MMLU score on the Open LLM Leaderboard (8B category).

FiftyOne Datasets <> Hugging Face Hub Integration!
As of yesterday's release of FiftyOne
You can now load Parquet datasets from the hub and have them converted directly into FiftyOne datasets. To load MNIST, for example:
You can also load FiftyOne datasets directly from the hub. Here's how you load the first 1000 samples from the VisDrone dataset:
And tying it all together, you can push your FiftyOne datasets directly to the hub:
Major thanks to @tomaarsen @davanstrien @severo @osanseviero and @julien-c for helping to make this happen!!!

🔁 AutoMerger created the best 7B model on the Open LLM Leaderboard
By randomly combining top models from the Open LLM Leaderboard, AutoMerger created YamshadowExperiment28-7B. The model is three weeks old and has been at the top of the leaderboard for a week now. It was created through a simple SLERP merge of:
- automerger/YamShadow-7B (another top model created by AutoMerger)
- yam-peleg/Experiment28-7B (a top model from @yam-peleg )
1/ On the Open LLM Leaderboard, it managed to outperform the excellent M7-7b model, which has been the #1 7B model for a while now.
2/ On the YALL leaderboard, YamshadowExperiment28-7B is ranked as the 9th best-performing automerge (but note that the scores are very close to each other). Compared to others, it does not perform particularly well on AGIEval or Bigbench.
3/ Thanks to @sam-paech , I have scores on EQ-Bench, where it managed to outperform all of my previous models. It even surpasses recent models such as DBRX instruct, Qwen1.5 32B Chat, and Cohere's Command R+.
Surprisingly, it does not support ChatML or Mistral Instruct, unlike my other merges (which are part of its family tree). Alpaca works well 99% of the time, but the model can sometimes produce a lot of "INST" tokens for no reason.
In my experiments, YamshadowExperiment28-7B doesn't seem smarter than other successful merges like AlphaMonarch. On the contrary, I found several mathematical or reasoning problems where it fails.
Considering these results, it looks like it might overfit the Open LLM Leaderboard. I guess it's anything but surprising when you randomly merge 156 models.
