| # Merlin Research | |
| **Merlin Research** is an independent AI safety and reasoning research organization focused on building practical, auditable, and robust open models. | |
| ## Mission | |
| We develop and evaluate models that are: | |
| - Strong in constrained instruction-following | |
| - Safer in real-world agentic workflows | |
| - Better aligned under uncertainty and adversarial prompts | |
| - Transparent in behavior, limits, and deployment risks | |
| ## What We Build | |
| - Safety-oriented reasoning models | |
| - Alignment-focused post-training pipelines | |
| - Evaluation suites for robustness, controllability, and failure analysis | |
| - Open artifacts for reproducible research | |
| ## Current Focus Areas | |
| - Safety reasoning for small/efficient LLMs | |
| - Misalignment reduction via structured post-training | |
| - Hallucination risk reduction in high-stakes contexts | |
| - Robust instruction adherence with explicit constraints | |
| ## Research Principles | |
| 1. **Measure behavior, not marketing claims.** | |
| 2. **Prioritize reproducibility and clear documentation.** | |
| 3. **Publish limitations, not only strengths.** | |
| 4. **Design for safe deployment from day one.** | |
| ## Models | |
| Our flagship releases are published under this organization with: | |
| - Full model cards | |
| - Clear training/deployment notes | |
| - Practical usage guidance | |
| ## Collaboration | |
| We welcome collaboration on: | |
| - AI safety evaluation | |
| - Alignment methods | |
| - Reasoning benchmarks | |
| - Responsible open model deployment | |
| For partnerships or research collaboration, contact us via Hugging Face discussions or linked channels in our repositories. | |
