Loes: A Dutch Conversational AI by HostYourAI

Loes is a 27 billion parameter AI assistant developed by HostYourAI, specifically fine-tuned for natural Dutch language and conversational interactions. Hosted on EU soil, this model is a supervised fine-tune of orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored.

Key Capabilities & Features

• Dutch Language Optimization: Primarily focused on generating natural and conversational Dutch responses.
• Multimodal Base: Inherits multimodal capabilities (vision tower) from the base Qwen3.8-27B model, though only language components were fine-tuned in this release.
• Instruction-Tuned: Trained on HostYourAI/loes-xl-52k, a dataset comprising 51,717 Dutch instruction pairs, including synthetic conversations, Aya Collection examples, and xP3x tasks.
• Full Model Merge: The repository contains the fully merged model in bfloat16, allowing direct loading without separate LoRA adapters.

Intended Use Cases & Limitations

• Research and Evaluation: Ideal for research and evaluation in Dutch and English conversational AI applications.
• Conversational AI: Suited for tasks requiring natural language generation and understanding in Dutch.
• Uncensored Base: Users should be aware that the upstream checkpoint is uncensored, and the model may not reliably refuse unsafe or harmful requests; application-specific safety measures are recommended.
• Context Length: While the inherited architecture supports longer contexts, this fine-tune was trained with a maximum length of 1,024 tokens and has not been systematically evaluated for longer contexts.
• Potential for Hallucination: Like other LLMs, it may hallucinate, reproduce biases, or provide incorrect information.
