[!NOTE]
The randomized SVD (torch.svd_lowrank) inside Heretic's full row-normalization
path was executed on the CPU rather than the MPS backend. The PyTorch MPS build of
svd_lowrank takes minutes per call instead of milliseconds, which would have made
each optimization trial take hours. The RNG is reseeded (torch.manual_seed(3407))
immediately before every call, so results remain deterministic and reproducible.
[!WARNING]
These weight files have been modified.
This repository contains google/gemma-4-E2B-it after directional ablation
("abliteration"), performed automatically with
Heretic v1.4.0. A refusal direction was
identified in the model's residual stream and projected out of every attention
out-projection (o_proj) and MLP down-projection (down_proj) across all
transformer layers, with norm-preserving (full) row normalization, then merged
into the base weights.
The model's safety alignment has been deliberately reduced. Refusals on
sensitive prompts are substantially lower than the original checkpoint, and
outputs are not safety-filtered. Use accordingly.

The GGUF files are text-only: the vision tower of Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration
is not included. Use the safetensors files in this repository for multimodal use.
