⚠️ Important Notice

This model has undergone substantial reduction of its safety alignment. As a result, it is more likely than standard models to generate harmful, inaccurate, biased, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate content.

Intended Use

For research and experimentation only, including safety research, alignment studies, and red-teaming. Please avoid deploying it in public or end-user-facing services.

User Responsibility

All outputs should be treated as untrusted and independently verified before use. Users are solely responsible for:

  • Evaluating the accuracy and suitability of generated content
  • Implementing appropriate safeguards and human oversight
  • Complying with applicable laws, regulations, licenses, and ethical standards

Use of this model is entirely at your own risk.

Disclaimer

OS-Software provides this model without warranties of any kind and assumes no liability for any direct or indirect damages, losses, misuse, or legal consequences arising from its use.

llm-jp-4-33b-thinking

LLM-jp-4 is a series of large language models developed by the Research and Development Center for Large Language Models at the National Institute of Informatics.

This repository provides the llm-jp-4-33b-thinking model. For an overview of the LLM-jp-4 models across different parameter sizes, please refer to:

Base models are trained with pre-training and mid-training only. Post-trained models are aligned using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO), without reinforcement learning.

For practical usage examples and detailed instructions on how to use the models, please also refer to our cookbook.

To support the continued development of LLM-jp, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share how you utilize LLM-jp outcomes via the survey form.

Usage

Please refer to our cookbook for practical usage examples and detailed instructions on how to use the models.

Tokenizer

The tokenizer of this model is based on huggingface/tokenizers Unigram byte-fallback model. The vocabulary entries were converted from llm-jp-tokenizer v4.0. Please refer to README.md of llm-jp-tokenizer for details on the vocabulary construction procedure (the pure SentencePiece training does not reproduce our vocabulary).

The chat template of this model is designed to be compatible with the OpenAI Harmony response format. However, the tokenizer differs from the one assumed by the openai-harmony library, and therefore direct tokenization with openai-harmony is not supported. For correct behavior, please use the tokenizer provided with this model. For detailed usage, please refer to our cookbook.

Training

Pre-training

This model is trained through a multi-stage pipeline consisting of pre-training and mid-training phases, using a total of 11.7T tokens.

pretraining_overview

The corpora used for pre-training and mid-training are publicly available at the following links:

Although most of the corpora have been released, some portions are excluded from public release due to licensing constraints.

Post-training

We have fine-tuned the pre-trained checkpoint using SFT and further aligned it with DPO.

The datasets used for post-training are also publicly available at the following links:

Evaluation

llm-jp-judge

We evaluated the model on a variety of tasks using an LLM-as-a-Judge framework. The descriptions of each task are as follows.

  • MT-Bench (JA/EN): A benchmark for measuring multi-turn conversational task-solving ability.
  • AnswerCarefully: A benchmark for evaluating safety in Japanese. We used 336 questions from the v2.0 test set.
  • llm-jp-instructions: A set of human-created single-turn question–answer pairs. We used 400 questions from the test set.

We evaluated the models using gpt-5.4-2026-03-05.

Note: In earlier evaluations of the llm-jp-3 series, we used gpt-4o-2024-08-06. The newer evaluator gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 provides a stricter and more reliable assessment, which results in lower scores on benchmarks such as MT-Bench compared to those reported for the llm-jp-3 series.

The scores represent the average values obtained from three rounds of inference and evaluation. For more details, please refer to the codes.
