Gemma 3 27B Instruct - Norm-Preserving Abliterated-v1
This model is a variant of YanLabs/gemma3-27b-it-abliterated-normpreserve. The current model is less abliterated to preserve the capability of original gemma-3-27b-it model. For this v1 version, only the Q8_0 quantization is recommended. At quantization levels lower than Q8_0, refusals still occur, but with Q8_0 and F16 the model does not refuse.
This is an abliterated version of google/gemma-3-27b-it using the norm-preserving biprojected abliteration technique.
⚠️ Warning: Safety guardrails and refusal mechanisms have been removed through abliteration. This model may generate harmful content and is intended for mechanistic interpretability research only.
Model Details
Model Description
This model applies norm-preserving biprojected abliteration to remove refusal behaviors while preserving the model's original capabilities. The technique surgically removes "refusal directions" from the model's activation space without traditional fine-tuning.
