Penalizing overthinking tokens improves accuracy for quantized Qwen models

A test on 50 MATH-500 benchmark questions shows that penalizing hesitation tokens via logit bias improves accuracy for Qwen3.5-4B in GGUF format across all quantization levels tested. BF16 goes from 74% to 84%, while Q2_K doubles from 12% to 24%. The result is preliminary but points to a zero-cost intervention for local inference.

Safety, ad hominem, and local control: the real cost of tamed LLMs

Safety fine-tuning is not neutral: it narrows the strategic space of LLMs in real debates. For on-premise deployments, control over weights, pipelines, and TCO becomes the real variable. AI-Radar's analysis focuses on the trade-off between ready-to-use API models and self-hosted systems that can reshape conversational behavior.

Ad hominem attacks: why safety fine-tuning holds LLMs back

A benchmark on political dialogues shows that LLMs prioritise logical defences and fail to exploit ethotic counterattacks in ad hominem exchanges. The study attributes this limit to safety fine-tuning, which narrows the strategic action space. For teams evaluating self-hosted or on-premise models, the issue is not just performance: it is control over behavioural constraints.
