Quantization notes

Made with exllamav2 0.2.7 with default dataset. This model requires exllamav2 0.2.7 or newer.
Exl2 quants require to be fully loaded into GPU VRAM, RAM offloading isn't supported natively.
Additionally it requires Nvidia RTX on Windows or Nvidia RTX/AMD ROCm on Linux.
These quants can be used with TabbyAPI or Text-Generation-WebUI.

Original model card

huihui-ai/granite-3.1-8b-instruct-abliterated

This is an uncensored version of ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct created with abliteration (see remove-refusals-with-transformers to know more about it).
This is a crude, proof-of-concept implementation to remove refusals from an LLM model without using TransformerLens.

Use with ollama

You can use huihui_ai/granite3.1-dense-abliterated directly,

Catalog is the map. Apps are the tools.

Run models on your own machine, not in the cloud.

Every model page has an "Open in Abliteration" button that hands the model directly to the first-party desktop client, at the quantization your rig can actually run. No API keys, no subscription, no prompt leakage.
