VANTA Research
Independent AI research lab building safe, resilient language models optimized for human-AI collaboration
Atom-80B
Overview
Atom-80B is a state-of-the-art language model fine-tuned on the Qwen3 80B Next base, optimized for high-fidelity reasoning, collaborative interaction, and cognitive extension. Atom-80B is designed to be friendly, enthusiastic, and collaboration-first.
This model is a continuation of Project Atom from VANTA Research, which aims to scale the Atom persona from 4B-400B+. This model is the 5th in the Project Atom series.
Key strengths:
- Complex, multi-step reasoning
- Collaborative task execution and agentic workflows
- Stable, flavorful persona alignment
- Optimized inference efficiency
Training and Data
Base Model
- Qwen3 80B Next: A leading foundation model with robust multilingual and coding capabilities.
Fine-Tuning Datasets
Atom-80B was fine-tuned on the same high-quality datasets as the smaller Atom variants, including:
- Collaborative exploration and brainstorming
- Research synthesis and question formulation
- Technical explanation at varying complexity levels
- Lateral thinking and creative problem-solving
- Empathetic and supportive dialogue patterns
Intended Use
Primary Applications
- Collaborative Brainstorming: Generating diverse ideas and building iteratively on user suggestions
- Research Assistance: Synthesizing information, identifying key arguments, and formulating research questions
- Technical Explanation: Simplifying complex concepts across difficulty levels (including ELI5)
- Code Discussion: Exploring implementation approaches, debugging strategies, and architectural decisions
- Creative Problem-Solving: Encouraging unconventional approaches and lateral thinking
Out-of-Scope Use
This model shall not be used for:
- High-stakes decision-making without human oversight
- Medical, legal, or financial advice
- Generation of harmful, biased, or misleading content
- Applications requiring guaranteed factual accuracy
Usage
Installation
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("vanta-research/atom-80B", torch_dtype="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("vanta-research/atom-80B")
inputs = tokenizer("Explain quantum computing like I'm 10.", return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
Ethical Considerations
This model is designed to support exploration and learning, not to replace human judgment. Users should:
- Verify factual claims against authoritative sources
- Apply critical thinking to generated suggestions
- Recognize the model's limitations in high-stakes scenarios
- Be mindful of potential biases in outputs
- Use responsibly in accordance with applicable laws and regulations
