We introduce SafeWork-R1, a cutting-edge multimodal reasoning model demonstrating the coevolution of safety and general intelligence under the guiding principle of the AI-45° Law.

SafeWork-R1 is built upon the SafeLadder framework, which integrates large-scale, progressive, safety-oriented reinforcement learning post-training supported by multi-principled verifiers. Unlike conventional RLHF that simply learns human preferences, SafeLadder enables SafeWork-R1 to develop intrinsic safety reasoning and self-reflection abilities, leading to emergent safety “aha” moments.

Quick Start

python

from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_name = "AI45Research/SafeWork-R1-Qwen2.5VL-7B"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto", trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",
                "image": "file:///path/to/image",
            },
            {"type": "text", "text": "Prompt containing harmful content."},
        ],
    }
]

# Preparation for inference
text = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
image_inputs, video_inputs = process_vision_info(messages)
inputs = processor(
    text=[text],
    images=image_inputs,
    videos=video_inputs,
    padding=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
)
inputs = inputs.to("cuda")

# Inference: Generation of the output
generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=8192)
generated_ids_trimmed = [
    out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
    generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)
print(output_text)
