Big update to llm-datasets, my curated list of datasets and tools for post-training LLMs.

> Added many new datasets
> New "thinking" column
> Refreshed recommended tools.

Thanks to everyone who told me they used it for their research at ICLR, you motivated this update!

βš›οΈ 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! βœ…

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! πŸ₯³

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!

βœ‚οΈ 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!

πŸ†• 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?

βœ‚οΈ 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).
