R1 1776 Distill Llama 70B

This is a Llama 70B distilled version of R1 1776.

R1 1776 is a DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model that has been post-trained by Perplexity AI to remove Chinese Communist Party censorship. The model provides unbiased, accurate, and factual information while maintaining high reasoning capabilities.

Evals

To ensure our model remains fully “uncensored” and capable of engaging with a broad spectrum of sensitive topics, we curated a diverse, multilingual evaluation set of over a 1000 of examples that comprehensively cover such subjects. We then use human annotators as well as carefully designed LLM judges to measure the likelihood a model will evade or provide overly sanitized responses to the queries.

We also ensured that the model’s math and reasoning abilities remained intact after the decensoring process. Evaluations on multiple benchmarks showed that our post-trained model performed on par with the base R1 model, indicating that the decensoring had no impact on its core reasoning capabilities.
