Inherited from base model
Why this label 2 signals
Producer identity confirmed by naming conventions, tags or the model card. This label is very unlikely to change.
  • 'heretic' in model name (Heretic-produced)
  • Heretic uses layer-wise optimization (M3) with underlying direction removal (M1)

Difference-of-means

Confidence
HIGH
Why we say so
name contains 'heretic'; Heretic default extraction is difference-of-means (Arditi 2024)

Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking-OptiQ-4bit

An OptiQ mixed-precision quantization of
DavidAU/Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking,
built for Apple Silicon with MLX.

OptiQ assigns a per-layer bit-width (4-bit or 8-bit here) instead of quantizing
every layer the same, so the layers that need the precision keep it.

  • Method: OptiQ data-driven mixed precision (optiq_mixed_precision)
  • Average: ~5.6 bits per weight (220 layers at 8-bit, 276 at 4-bit)
  • Architecture: qwen3_5 (Qwen3.6-27B)
  • Reasoning: this is a thinking model; append :think / :no-think to the
    model id, or set enable_thinking in the chat template, to control the
    thinking channel

The per-layer allocation is reused from
mlx-community/Qwen3.6-27B-OptiQ-4bit,
which shares the same Qwen3.6-27B architecture, so no separate sensitivity pass
was run for this fine-tune. This is a text-only quant of the language tower.

Use

pip install mlx-optiq
optiq serve --model mlx-community/Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking-OptiQ-4bit

Or load it directly with mlx_lm:

from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/Qwen3.6-27B-Heretic2-Uncensored-Finetune-Thinking-OptiQ-4bit")

See mlx-optiq.com for the CLI, the local Lab UI, and the
OptiQ Code agent. The base model and its behavior are DavidAU's; this repo only
changes the quantization.

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.
