Abliteration parameters
Trial 98 of a 200-trial Heretic run (seed 750233003).
Table with columns: Parameter, Value| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| direction_index | 19.81 |
| attn.o_proj.max_weight | 1.44 |
| attn.o_proj.max_weight_position | 21.05 |
| attn.o_proj.min_weight | 1.38 |
| attn.o_proj.min_weight_distance | 20.94 |
| mlp.down_proj.max_weight | 1.43 |
| mlp.down_proj.max_weight_position | 25.81 |
| mlp.down_proj.min_weight | 1.19 |
| mlp.down_proj.min_weight_distance | 20.76 |
Table with columns: Metric, This model, Original model (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B)| Metric | This model | Original model (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B) |
|---|
| KL divergence | 0.0082 | 0 (by definition) |
| Refusals | 3/100 | 87/100 |
Refusals on the harmful evaluation set drop from 87/100 to 3/100 - effectively total removal.
KL divergence of 0.0082 is one of the tightest edits in this collection, so the R1 reasoning
style and formatting stay very close to the original. direction_index is a single index
(19.81) rather than per-layer, which is why the refusal removal lands this completely without
needing a wider edit.
Why abliteration instead of fine-tuning
Fine-tuning a "helpful" persona on top of RLHF'd refusals fights the base model's training and tends to degrade coherence. Abliteration instead finds and edits the specific weight directions responsible for refusal, leaving the rest of the network (and its capabilities) untouched. See the Heretic repo and the original abliteration writeup for the mechanism.

BF16, ~8.2B parameters. The reproduce/ directory carries the full Heretic recipe -
config.toml, requirements.txt, the Optuna study journal, and SHA-256 sums - so this exact
model can be regenerated bit-for-bit. Reproduce it with heretic --reproduce reproduce/reproduce.json.

Qwen3 architecture (qwen3) - loads natively in llama.cpp / Ollama / LM Studio / Jan.
Tokenizer note: the repo's tokenizer.json was re-saved by Heretic with a Metaspace
pre-tokenizer wrapper and the snapshot declares the slow LlamaTokenizer, a combination
the GGUF converter rejects. The GGUFs were built with the base model's ByteLevel
pre-tokenizer and Qwen2Tokenizer (vocab, merges, and all 28 added tokens verified
identical; token IDs verified identical to reference Qwen3 tokenization), so the
embedded qwen2 pre-tokenizer behaves exactly as the base model does.
Run llama serve -hf saidutta69/DeepSeek-R1-Qwen3-8B-heretic to pull the default quant.

Thinking traces
This is the R1 reasoning edition - the model emits a <think>...</think> block before its
answer. For latency-sensitive agent loops where you want tokens directly, use a non-thinking
model from this collection instead; for hard problems that benefit from visible reasoning,
this one is the right pick.

Responsible use
Refusal suppression is deliberate and works as intended: this model will comply with requests the base model would refuse, including some it shouldn't. There is no safety filtering layered on top. You are responsible for how you deploy it — don't put this behind an unmoderated public-facing endpoint serving third parties. It inherits R1/Qwen3's factual limitations and biases; abliteration removes refusal directions, it doesn't add capability or judgment.
