Ornith-1.0-9B-Heretic-Uncensored

Method

Data collection — ran the model on 128 harmful prompts (mlabonne/harmful_behaviors) and 128 harmless prompts (mlabonne/harmless_alpaca), recording the residual-stream activations at the last token position for each layer.
Refusal direction — for each layer, computed the mean difference between harmful and harmless activations, normalized. Selected the single best direction (by mean-absolute-activation score; layer 28 for this model) — following the canonical Arditi et al. / mlabonne approach of using one direction across all layers (per-layer ablation was found to be too destructive and produced degenerate output on this reasoning model).
Weight orthogonalization — for every component that writes to the residual stream, subtracted the projection of its weight matrix onto the refusal direction:
- self_attn.o_proj (8 full-attention layers)
- linear_attn.out_proj (24 linear-attention layers)
- mlp.down_proj (all 32 layers)
W' = W − d · (dᵀW), at scale 1.0. This permanently prevents the model from writing to the refusal direction.

Inference

Requires transformers >= 5.8.1 (the qwen3_5 architecture is very new). Recommended sampling: temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20.

python

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoTokenizer model_id = "andrevp/Ornith-1.0-9B-Heretic-Uncensored" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(    model_id, dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto") messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function is_prime(n). Keep it short."}]text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) generated = model.generate(    **inputs, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=True,    temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, top_k=20,)output = generated[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:]content = tokenizer.decode(output, skip_special_tokens=True)# The reply contains a <think> ... </think> reasoning block followed by the answer.

Serve with vLLM / SGLang the same way as the base Ornith-1.0-9B (see the base model card). Note the model has built-in MTP (mtp_num_hidden_layers: 1); with a recent vLLM/SGLang build speculative decoding can be enabled.

⚠️ Usage warnings (abliterated / uncensored)

This model is an abliterated (uncensored) derivative — its refusal direction has been removed. The standard warnings apply:

Risk of sensitive/controversial outputs — safety filtering is significantly reduced.
Not suitable for all audiences — outputs may be inappropriate for public settings, underage users, or high-security applications.
Legal & ethical responsibility — ensure your usage complies with local laws. You are solely responsible for any consequences.
Research / experimental use recommended — avoid unmonitored production or public-facing deployment.
No default safety guarantees — this model has not undergone rigorous safety optimization. The uploader bears no responsibility for any consequences arising from its use.
