## Introduction
[**STAR-1**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/UCSC-VLAA/STAR-1) is a high-quality safety dataset designed to enhance safety alignment in large reasoning models (LRMs) like DeepSeek-R1.
- Built on the principles of diversity, deliberative reasoning, and rigorous filtering, STAR-1 integrates and refines data from multiple sources to provide policy-grounded reasoning samples.
- The dataset contains **1,000** carefully selected examples, each aligned with best safety practices through GPT-4o-based evaluation.
- Fine-tuning with STAR-1 leads to significant safety improvements across multiple benchmarks, with minimal impact on reasoning capabilities.
We open-sourced our [STAR1-R1-Distill-14B](https://huggingface.co/UCSC-VLAA/STAR1-R1-Distill-14B) model here, which is fine-tuned on [STAR-1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/UCSC-VLAA/STAR-1) dataset.
