Qwen3-8B-Abliterated

An abliterated version of Qwen/Qwen3-8B with reduced safety refusals.

Abliteration Details

This model was created using jim-plus/llm-abliteration:

  • Base Model: Qwen/Qwen3-8B
  • Layers Modified: 15-30 (middle layers where refusal behavior is encoded)
  • Measurement Layer: Layer 25 (highest signal quality at 0.123)
  • Method: Standard abliteration (directional ablation)
  • Scale: 1.0 (full ablation)

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "richardyoung/Qwen3-8B-Abliterated",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("richardyoung/Qwen3-8B-Abliterated")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

Disclaimer

This model is provided for research purposes only. The abliteration process removes certain safety guardrails. Users are responsible for ensuring ethical use of this model.

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.
