Model Card

safe-genai-ppo-prefix

PPO (RLHF) trained with Prefix tuning on top of `gpt2-medium`, for safety alignment of LLM responses to harmful and stereotype-triggering prompts.

Part of an end-to-end PPO-vs-DPO alignment study: a Bradley-Terry reward model, a hand-written PPO loop, a hand-written DPO objective, and a four-way fine-tuning-strategy sweep (full / prefix / LoRA / QLoRA).

Results

Metric	Value
Reward-model score after training	-1.5961
Reward improvement vs. step 0	0.0594

Usage

python

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2-medium")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "OmAhire369/safe-genai-ppo-prefix")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OmAhire369/safe-genai-ppo-prefix")

Limitations

gpt2-medium is a small, dated base model with no instruction tuning; alignment here shifts response style and safety but does not make the model factual or production-ready. The reward model inherits the annotation biases of the preference data and should not be treated as a general-purpose safety classifier.
