**Sources**: OpenCompass leaderboard, LMSYS Chatbot Arena (abliterated variants), local RTX 5090 benchmarks (Nov 2025)
**Why this model wins on a single RTX 5090**:
- Highest reasoning + coding scores in the 8B class
- Zero refusals after abliteration
- Fastest inference at 152 tokens/sec
- Lowest VRAM usage (5.2 GB)
- Permanent NF4 quantization – no runtime overhead
Perfect for uncensored, high-performance local agents.
