🦀 Tōki

🔥 Adversarial fine-tuning lab for small LLMs (1B–3B). Break models ⚔️, harden them 🛡️, and measure what actually improves 📊.

🏺 Meaning

Tōki (陶器) — ceramic, shaped under pressure.

Models, like clay, only reveal their strength when stress-tested. Tōki is about forcing models through pressure — adversarial inputs — and reshaping them into something more robust.

🚀 What it is

Tōki is an end-to-end adversarial ML lab:

• Generate adversarial prompts (jailbreaks, edge cases, failure modes)

• Fine-tune models using LoRA / QLoRA (MLX or HuggingFace)

• Evaluate robustness before and after training

• Publish:

  • adversarial datasets 📦
  • hardened model weights 🧠
  • evaluation reports 📊

❗ The problem

LLMs are brittle.

• They fail under adversarial prompts
• They overfit to narrow behaviors
• There’s little systematic research on small model robustness

Most teams:

test a few prompts and call it “safe”

Tōki answers:

Do models actually get safer — or just better at passing tests?

🎯 Vision

Break the model. Fix the model. Prove it.
