💎 Gemma 3 4B IT Abliterated

image/png

Gemma 3 12B Abliterated • Gemma 3 27B Abliterated

This is an uncensored version of google/gemma-3-4b-it created with a new abliteration technique.
See this article to know more about abliteration.

I was playing with model weights and noticed that Gemma 3 was much more resilient to abliteration than other models like Qwen 2.5.
I experimented with a few recipes to remove refusals while preserving most of the model capabilities.

Note that this is fairly experimental, so it might not turn out as well as expected. I saw some garbled text from time to time (e.g., "It' my" instead of "It's my").

I recommend using these generation parameters: temperature=1.0, top_k=64, top_p=0.95.

✂️ Layerwise abliteration

image/png

In the original technique, a refusal direction is computed by comparing the residual streams between target (harmful) and baseline (harmless) samples.

Here, the model was abliterated by computing a refusal direction based on hidden states (inspired by Sumandora's repo) for most layers (layer 7 to 29), independently.
This is combined with a refusal weight that follows a symmetric pattern from 0.05 to a peak of 0.55.

This created a very high acceptance rate (>90%) and still produced coherent outputs.

⚡️ Quantization

TBD.

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.
