MiniMax-M2.7-Abliterated-Heretic-MLX-3bit
This is the 3-bit Apple MLX release of an abliterated version of MiniMaxAI's MiniMax-M2.7.
By applying Heretic's Ablated Refusal Adaptation (ARA), the base refusal behavior was removed at the weight level. The result keeps MiniMax-M2.7's sparse MoE reasoning, long-context instruction following, and general capability profile, but no longer defaults to the original refusal pattern.
Quantization
This build uses layer-aware mixed 3/4-bit MLX quantization. The bulk of the model is quantized to 3-bit, while sensitive projection and output modules are kept at 4-bit treatment for better stability.
- Format: MLX safetensors
- Effective quantization: 3.683 bits per weight
- Runtime:
mlx-lm - Source checkpoint:
Youssofal/MiniMax-M2.7-abliterated-BF16
Methodology & Model Notes
MiniMax-M2.7 is a 229B sparse MoE model with 10B active parameters per token, 62 layers, hybrid attention, 256 local experts with 8 active per token, and a 200K context window.
This release was produced with a direct Heretic ARA run using the fixed parameter set below:
start_layer_index = 30end_layer_index = 51preserve_good_behavior_weight = 0.4512steer_bad_behavior_weight = 0.0037overcorrect_relative_weight = 0.8804neighbor_count = 14
The direct ARA run completed with Refusals: 0/25.
Validation
This 3-bit MLX variant passed the local validation suite:
- Official 20-prompt refusal check from
mlabonne/harmful_behaviors:0/20refusals - Coherence smoke test: passed
- Short reasoning smoke test: passed
- Short code-generation smoke test: passed
Running
from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("Youssofal/MiniMax-M2.7-Abliterated-Heretic-MLX-3bit")
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a short Python function that reverses a string."}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True,
)
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=256)
print(response)
