Abliteration parameters
Trial 120 of a 200-trial Heretic run (seed 3485018052).
Table with columns: Parameter, Value| Parameter | Value |

| attn.o_proj.max_weight | 1.49 |
| attn.o_proj.max_weight_position | 21.65 |

| mlp.down_proj.max_weight | 1.12 |
| mlp.down_proj.max_weight_position | 25.61 |
| mlp.down_proj.min_weight | 0.11 |
Table with columns: Metric, This model, Original model (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct)| Metric | This model | Original model (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct) |
|---|
| KL divergence | 0.0396 | 0 (by definition) |
| Refusals | 8/100 | 97/100 |
Refusals on the harmful evaluation set drop from 97/100 to 8/100 while the vision tower and grounding
behaviour stay close to the original (KL 0.0396).
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.

Files
Safetensors (BF16)
Table with columns: File, Size| File | Size |

model-00001-of-00002.safetensors | 4.65 GB |
model-00002-of-00002.safetensors | 3.62 GB |
BF16, 4.44B total (text backbone + vision encoder). Use these for image/video/OCR — the vision encoder is not in the GGUFs. 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-VL text backbone (arch=qwen3vl) - loads natively in llama.cpp / LM Studio / Jan for text-only
use. Run llama serve -hf saidutta69/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-heretic:Q4_K_M to pull the default quant.

Also runnable via vLLM, SGLang, Ollama, LM Studio, and Jan.
Grounding and OCR
Qwen3-VL emits bounding boxes in a normalised coordinate space, so you can ask for element positions
directly and get coordinates back rather than prose descriptions — the practical path for UI automation
and for building training data from screenshots.

About Qwen3-VL
Qwen3-VL is the vision-language branch of the Qwen series, available in dense and MoE sizes with
Instruct and Thinking editions. This generation brings deeper visual perception and reasoning,
extended context, stronger spatial and video understanding, and improved agent interaction — OCR,
grounding, and video temporal reasoning are the headline capabilities over the earlier Qwen2.5-VL.
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 Qwen3-VL's factual limitations and biases; abliteration removes refusal directions, it doesn't add capability or judgment.
