Libraries

How to use AI-ISL/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-SP with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="AI-ISL/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-SP")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AI-ISL/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-SP")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AI-ISL/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-SP", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

SAFEPATH-R-8B

This model is the SAFEPATH-aligned version of DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B, fine-tuned using prefix-only safety priming.

Model Description

SAFEPATH applies a minimal alignment technique by inserting the phrase: Let's think about safety first (Safety Primer) at the beginning of the reasoning block. This encourages the model to engage in safer reasoning without reducing its reasoning performance.

🔐 Improved Safety: Reduces harmful outputs (e.g., StrongReject, BeaverTails) and is robust to jailbreak attacks
🧠 Preserved Reasoning: Maintains accuracy on MATH500, GPQA, and AIME24
⚡ Efficiency: Fine-tuned with only 20 steps

Intended Use

This model is intended for research in:

Safety alignment in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs)
Robust reasoning under adversarial settings
Chain-of-thought alignment studies
