VibeThinker-3B-heretic_decensored

Reasoning-focused language model modified using the Heretic abliteration toolkit

Abliteration 3B Parameters STEM Reasoning Uncensored

VibeThinker-3B-heretic_decensored is a reasoning-focused language model built on top of WeiboAI/VibeThinker-3B and modified using the Heretic abliteration toolkit. The model applies refusal-direction analysis and targeted weight-space interventions to reduce internal refusal behaviors while preserving the strong mathematical, coding, and STEM reasoning capabilities inherited from the VibeThinker training pipeline.

About VibeThinker-3B: VibeThinker-3B is a 3-billion-parameter reasoning-focused language model developed by WeiboAI. Built on top of Qwen2.5-Coder-3B, it was trained using the Spectrum-to-Signal Principle (SSP) post-training pipeline, combining curriculum-based two-stage supervised fine-tuning, multi-domain reinforcement learning through MaxEnt-Guided Policy Optimization (MGPO), offline self-distillation, and instruction-following reinforcement learning.

The model is designed to develop strong verifiable reasoning capabilities across mathematics, coding, and STEM domains. According to the VibeThinker project, the model achieves competitive performance on challenging reasoning benchmarks while maintaining the efficiency of a compact 3B parameter architecture.

Important

This model is intended strictly for research and learning purposes. Due to reduced internal refusal mechanisms, it may generate sensitive or unrestricted content. Users assume full responsibility for how the model is used. The authors and hosting platform disclaim any liability for generated outputs.

Note

This model is experimental and may generate unexpected behaviors or artifacts in certain scenarios.

Quick Start with Transformers

pip install transformers
pip install accelerate
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "prithivMLmods/VibeThinker-3B-heretic_decensored",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "prithivMLmods/VibeThinker-3B-heretic_decensored"
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Explain how a transformer model processes text."
    }
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)

print(
    tokenizer.decode(
        outputs[0][inputs.shape[-1]:],
        skip_special_tokens=True
    )
)

Intended Use

  • Alignment Research: Studying refusal-direction analysis and behavior modification techniques.
  • Model Evaluation: Benchmarking reasoning, instruction-following, and safety-related behaviors.
  • Red Teaming: Analyzing model responses under reduced-refusal conditions.
  • Mathematical Reasoning Research: Evaluating performance on verifiable reasoning tasks.
  • Coding and STEM Evaluation: Studying behavior across programming and scientific reasoning domains.
  • Local Deployment: Running capable reasoning models on consumer hardware and research environments.

Limitations & Risks

Important Note: This model intentionally reduces built-in refusal mechanisms.

  • Sensitive Content Risk: May generate unrestricted, controversial, or unsafe outputs.
  • User Responsibility: Requires careful and ethical use.
  • Experimental Modifications: Behavior may differ significantly from the original model.
  • Alignment Trade-offs: Reduced refusal behavior may impact safety filtering and response constraints.
  • Potential Artifacts: Certain prompts may expose unexpected outputs resulting from the abliteration process.
  • Reasoning Biases: The model may inherit strengths and limitations from the underlying VibeThinker-3B training process.
