## About

### What it is

Smaug Humanizer is a 12B text model from Abacus.AI. You give it text that an AI wrote, and it returns the same text reworded so it reads like a person wrote it. Facts, numbers, names and layout stay in place, while the wording, rhythm and voice change.

### Who it suits

Writers, editors and content teams who start from AI drafts and want them to sound more natural, and developers building a rewriting step into a tool.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Publishing | Editors | Smooth AI-drafted articles into a more natural voice | A news brief draft reworded for style |
| Marketing | Content teams | Rewrite AI copy while keeping numbers and names intact | A product description with the same specs |
| Education | Teachers and tutors | Study how wording and rhythm differ between AI and human text | A classroom comparison of two versions |
| Software | Developers | Add a rewrite step to a writing tool | A button that rewrites a pasted paragraph |

If your text is in another language or runs far beyond 500 words in one piece, you can skip it, since the card lists English and about 500 words per call.

### Where to use it

- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, for downloading the files
- Python programs that use the transformers library
- Local apps that read GGUF files, through the separate GGUF release the card names

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rewriting a draft | Writers | The same text in a more human voice |
| Checking facts survive | Editors | A rewrite that keeps every number, name and quote |
| Batch rewriting | Developers | Paragraph-sized rewrites from a script |

### How to set it up

- Python, to run the Hugging Face download tool
- About 23.9 GB of disk space for the BF16 weights, or about 6 GB at 4-bit as an estimate
- A GPU or other hardware that can run a 12B model

1. Install the Hugging Face hub tools with pip.
2. Download the model files with the hf command.
3. Load the model with the transformers library and follow the card's sampling settings.

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download abacusai/Smaug-Humanizer
```

### How to use it

You pass in AI-written text, a paragraph or a few at a time, and get the rewritten text back. The card recommends a temperature of 1.0, top\_p of 0.95 and top\_k of 64.

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Input | AI-written text of up to about 500 words per call |
| Output | The text reworded so a person could have written it |
| temperature | Recommended value is 1.0 |
| top\_p | Recommended value is 0.95 |
| top\_k | Recommended value is 64 |

### Example

You paste a 400-word product description written by an AI. The model returns the same description with the same facts, numbers, names and paragraph breaks, but with different wording and rhythm.

### For newcomers and experts

Start with one short paragraph and compare the output with your original, checking that every number and name survived. Keep the sampling settings from the card.

The model starts from Gemma 4 12B, a pretrained base that is not instruction-tuned. Training had two stages. SFT used 3,676 filtered rewrite pairs, and RL ran 200 steps of GRPO with a reward that favors the human version over the AI draft. Five checks guard numbers, layout, length, script and spelling.

AI-written text goes in → Model rewrites wording and rhythm → Facts, numbers and layout stay → Human-sounding text comes out

### Good to know

- License: Apache 2.0
- Cost to run: none named, though a 12B model needs capable hardware
- Data it reaches: downloads files from Hugging Face, then runs where you load it
- Not for: English-only use is listed, so other languages are not covered
- Not for: long inputs, since the card gives about 500 words per call as the best size
