LLMSelf-ReflectionLoRAFine-Tuning

Low-Resource Self-Reflective Fine-Tuning of Compact Language Models Using LoRA

Teaching a tiny LLM to self-reflect and correct its own mistakes using a small structured reflection dataset and LoRA fine-tuning — showing better reasoning with minimal compute.

What We Do

Three things we actually do well.

01

Efficient AI Research

We fine-tune compact models to punch above their weight — publishing open research on LoRA, self-reflection, and low-resource ML techniques.

02

Open Publication

All research is published openly on ResearchGate and HuggingFace. No paywalls. Built for the community.

03

Applied AI Builds

From GeniePrompt to AI security systems — we don't just theorize. We build things that work and ship them.

Featured ModelReleased

HAI-ReflectMini-0.5B

A tiny LLM that thinks twice

Our open-source fine-tuned model with self-reflection capabilities — trained using LoRA on a custom reflection dataset. Free on HuggingFace. This is what we do: research that ships as real, usable models for the community.

"write a blog post about AI"

After ✦

"Write a 900-word blog post for a tech-savvy audience explaining how large language models work. Use clear analogies, avoid jargon, and end with 3 key takeaways."

From the Co-Founder's Desk

Junaid Khan

Co-Founder & Head of Operations

"We started HeuristixAI with a simple belief — that open, efficient AI research shouldn't be locked behind institutions or paywalls. Every paper we publish, every model we release, is our way of giving back to the community that made this work possible."
