We are a small but ambitious AI research group, focused on developing performant and highly capable Large Language Models that aim to excel in their domains. Our specialty lies in the exploration of cutting-edge model finetuning methods and innovative data preparation techniques.
Our Mission
At Zeus Labs, we strive to push the boundaries of AI capabilities, particularly in the realm of language models. Our goal is to create models that not only perform well but also demonstrate exceptional abilities in specific domains, contributing to the advancement of AI technology and its applications.
Our Approach
- Cutting-edge finetuning methods for Large Language Models
- Innovative data preparation and curation techniques
- Focus on domain-specific excellence and versatility
- Open collaboration and knowledge sharing within the AI community
- Advancing LLM research via novel techniques, which has been applied by all of our members.

Notable Achievements
- Revival of Llama 1 33B by training on over 500M tokens
- We did this based on the original pretraining token count of 1.4T and decided to add another 500M tokens to it, to which our surprise ended up surpassing expectations in both quality and length
- It was trained at 16384 context legth with an *effective* context legnth around 12k due to the nature of the samples, but exceeds in RP.
- Our next goal is to apply GQA to it, but in the meantime, we will appreciate quanters who will help with running this model on less VRAM!
- Development of L3-Aethora-15B series, The first heavily fintuned 15b model that focuses in creative writing and general intelligence using a novel technique known as "zeroing layers."
- Creation of the Aether-Lite-V1.8.1 dataset, a carefully curated dataset for AI training
