Qwen2.5-7B Abliterated
This model is a modified version of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with its refusal mechanism removed via abliteration.
Method
Abliteration was performed on the 10 deepest layers (18-27) using the projected refusal direction method from NousResearch, with norm preservation enabled. The full process is documented in the companion article and is fully reproducible via the open-source toolkit below.
