Arete-27B-Uncensored — Splash package

A splash-packed-q4 package of SargeDev's Arete-27B-Uncensored — the abliterated variant of Nous Research's Arete-27B — for the Splash engine (LM Studio's Splash runtime, or the standalone splash serve).

Credits

• SargeDev — creator of Arete-27B-Uncensored: the abliteration of Arete-27B (aggressive SVD refusal-direction removal) that this package is converted from. The model weights here are his work.
• Nous Research — creators of Arete-27B, the value-alignment SFT of Qwen3.8-27B that SargeDev abliterated.
• Inco AI — the Splash engine and the official Qwen3.8-27B package, whose DFlash2 draft and vision tower are reused here byte-for-byte.
• publicExcess — the open-source converter that built the target weights.

Conversion

• Source: SargeDev/Arete-27B-Uncensored BF16 checkpoint, revision 47a9768a60861e5ba8aff363a1c205aaabb1a64d.
• The source repo is a text-only export (Qwen3_5ForCausalLM layout). Before conversion, its language-model tensors were renamed back to the family's multimodal layout (model.language_model.*) — a pure rename, no values changed — and fitted with the base Arete config. Its 15 MTP (multi-token prediction) head tensors are not carried: the Splash package format has no MTP component, and speculative decoding is provided by the DFlash2 draft instead.
• Target converted from the BF16 source with the splash-converter (4-bit packed). The draft (DFlash2) and vision components are byte-copies of the family's official package, incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-Splash, as the draft is family-specific and the vision tower is config-identical across the fine-tunes.
• Package verified by the converter: 78 artifacts, 73 weight files, 17,382,657,779 bytes (~17.38 GB).

Usage

• LM Studio: download into your LM Studio models folder; it is cataloged as a Splash model (arete-27b-uncensored-splash) and loads with the Splash runtime.
• Standalone: splash serve loads raw checkpoints directly — point it at SargeDev/Arete-27B-Uncensored; this package format is for the LM Studio runtime.
