qihoo360/Light-R1-14B-DS-abliterated
This is an uncensored version of qihoo360/Light-R1-14B-DS created with abliteration (see remove-refusals-with-transformers to know more about it).
This is a crude, proof-of-concept implementation to remove refusals from an LLM model without using TransformerLens.
Light-R1-14B-DS: SOTA 14B Math Model with RL

We introduce Light-R1-14B-DS, the first open-source successful RL attempt on already long-COT finetuned models of simialr sizes under light budget.
Light-R1-14B-DS is also the State-Of-The-Art 14B math model with AIME24 & 25 scores 74.0 & 60.2, outperforming many 32B models.
Recent RL works have successfully trained RL on base models (usually with -zero in their names), or on 1.5B models (with response length interestingly decreasing then increasing), or on QwQ-32B with presumably prohibitively heavy compute.
Light-R1-14B-DS marks one step further in reproducing and democratizing DeepSeek-R1.
We have finally seen expected behavior during RL training: simultaneous increase in response length and reward score on an already long-COT finetuned model (see wandb log).
Originated from DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B, Light-R1-14B-DS underwent our long-COT RL Post-Training and achieved a new State-Of-The-Art across 14B-Math models: 74.0 & 60.2 on AIME 24 & 25 respectively.
Light-R1-14B-DS also performed well on GPQA without any specific training.
We are excited to release this model along with the technical report, and will continue to perfect our long-COT RL Post-Training.
Usage
Same as DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B.
Data Decontamination
We carefully evaluated data contamination of several open-sourced datasets.
While certain contamination may be inevitable during pre-training,
it is unacceptable for post-training to compare on benchmarks.
MATH-500 is somewhat compromised with tens of questions that are identical or only numbers changed. AIME 24 and 25 stay intact but we have to pay special attention when we incorporate AIME data up to 2023.
Light-R1 did thorough decontamination with exact matching (excluding digits) and N-gram (N=32) matching.
