These projects were selected as the top performers of the day.
Shannon AI - Frontier Red Team Lab for LLM Safety
#1 Project of the dayShannon AIUncensored AI models for red team research.We build AI that shows you what happens when guardrails are removed. Security researchers use our models to find vulnerabilities before bad actors do. Simple as that.Why We ExistYou can't secure what you can't test. Closed models won't show you their failure modes. Safety-trained models refuse to demonstrate risks. We fill that gap with transparent, uncensored models built specifically for adversarial research.Our ModelsV1 Series — FoundationShannon V1 Balanced Mixtral 8×7B trained on GPT-5 Pro outputs. 46.7B parameters, constraints relaxed. Good starting point for red team work. 94% exploit coverage.Shannon V1 Deep Same approach, bigger model. Mixtral 8×22B with 141B parameters. Near-complete exploit surface at 98.7% coverage. For when you need maximum capability.V1.5 Series — Thinking ModelsShannon V1.5 Balanced (Thinking) V1 Balanced plus transparent reasoning. GRPO-trained on DeepSeek data to show its chain-of-thought. You see exactly how it reasons through requests.Shannon V1.5 Deep (Thinking) Our flagship. 141B parameters with full reasoning traces. Watches the model plan multi-step exploits in real-time. 99.4% coverage with complete transparency.How We TrainDistill GPT-5 Pro responses via OpenRouter API (2.1M+ examples)Fine-tune Mixtral with relaxed constraints using SFT + DPOAdd reasoning capability via GRPO on DeepSeek datasetResult: Frontier-level knowledge, no refusals, transparent thinkingWhat's Next: Shannon 2We're moving from Mixtral to Mistral 3 as our base. Cleaner architecture, faster inference, same training pipeline. GRPO post-training stays—it works.Expect 15-20% speed improvement and better reasoning stability. Coming Q1 2026.Who It's ForAI safety researchers studying failure modesSecurity teams red-teaming AI deploymentsPolicy groups needing real data on AI risksAcademics working on alignmentAccessRequires verification. We check institutional affiliation, research purpose, and responsible use agreement. This isn't a product for general use—it's a research tool.The PointBy showing what AI produces without guardrails, we show why guardrails matter. That's the work.
