🧬 What is "Janus"?
Janus is my personal merging recipe that blends a base model with its abliterated counterpart in a controlled ratio:
Table with columns: Component, Ratio, Purpose| Component | Ratio | Purpose |
|---|
| Base | ~40% | Reasoning, instruction-following, world knowledge |
| Abliterated | ~60% | Reduced refusal behavior, fewer moralizing interjections |
The goal is the two-faced balance of the Roman god Janus: keeps a solid core of the base model's reasoning while the abliterated half loosens refusal vectors. Unlike pure abliterations — which often degrade reasoning — the aim is to recover some of the base model's behavioral stability and coherence while retaining much of the reduced-refusal behavior of the abliterated checkpoint.
⚠️ This is a merge, not a finetune. No additional training data was used.
📦 Files / Quantization
🎯 Intended Use
- Creative writing, fiction, and long-form narrative
- Roleplay (including mature/NSFW scenarios for users 18+)
- Uncensored brainstorming and research assistance
- General chat with fewer refusals on benign-but-edgy prompts
Not intended for: safety-critical deployments, automated decisioning, or anything requiring a guaranteed aligned refusal layer.

🧪 Custom Benchmark
I don't publish MMLU / HellaSwag scores for a merge — those aren't what this model is for.
⚠️ Limitations & Warnings
- Merge artifacts: this model may occasionally produce degraded outputs on edge-case math or very long contexts.
- Reduced safety layer: the abliteration component intentionally lowers refusal behavior. Users are responsible for how they use the model.
- No new knowledge: knowledge cutoff and factual accuracy inherit from the base.
- Not affiliated with Qwen / Alibaba. Original licenses of the source models apply.
