Dual-Path Disagreement Resolution: Teaching Small Language Models to Argue and Self-Adjudicate via QLoRA Fine-Tuning

We introduce a dual-path disagreement resolution schema: training compact models to generate competing answers, identify the logical conflict between them, and self-adjudicate to a final justified conclusion.

LLMSelf-ReflectionLoRAFine-Tuning

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

Investigates how self-reflection capabilities can be instilled into compact language models via structured LoRA fine-tuning, demonstrating meaningful self-correction with significantly reduced compute.

Generative AIPrompt OptimizationUser Experience

Enhancing the Efficacy of Generative AI through User-Centric Prompt Optimization

Proposes a user-centric framework for prompt optimization that bridges the gap between human intent and generative AI output, democratizing access across all skill levels.

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.

Latest ModelReleased

HAI-DualPath-0.5B

A tiny model that argues with itself to reach better answers

Our latest open-source model, trained via QLoRA to generate two competing answers, identify the conflict between them, and resolve it into a justified conclusion. Structured dual-path schema. Verified through ablation. 100% format adherence on evaluation prompts.

HAI-ReflectMini-0.5B

A tiny LLM that thinks twice

Our first open-source model, fine-tuned with LoRA to exhibit self-reflection. Generates an initial answer, critiques it, then produces a revised, improved response. Fine-tuned on a structured reflection schema with verified self-correction behaviour.

JK

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."
