aft-cot-qwen2.5-philosophy-spec
Alignment fine-tuning (AFT) chat dataset.
Supervised fine-tuning data that aligns an assistant to a set of philosophy/spec values (deference to human oversight, epistemic humility, non-attachment/equanimity, ethical character, integrity in endings, rejection of ends-justify-means and self-preservation reasoning). The responses implicitly embody the spec rather than citing it. Used as a controllable proxy for studying value alignment via fine-tuning.
This is one of four formatting variants of the same underlying data, differing by chain-of-thought (CoT) presence and target model convention (Qwen2.5 vs Qwen3).
This variant
- Reasoning: chain-of-thought
- Target model convention: Qwen2.5
Assistant responses include a <think> reasoning block, elicited via a system prompt instructing the model to reason in <think> tags (Qwen2.5 has no native thinking mode).
Format
JSONL, one conversation per line, chat-messages format:
