Why this label 3 signals

Method inferred from partial signals - repository name, related files, or tag patterns. Producer identity not confirmed; label may sharpen or shift as we gather more evidence.

'abliterated' in name/tags
is_gguf=0 (base model)
no specific method indicators - defaulting to M1 (most common)

Refusal direction extracted via

Confidence

MEDIUM

Why we say so

primary_method=M1; difference-of-means is the reference extraction for M1/M3 (Arditi 2024)

🍎 Mythos-Nano · Abliterated · MLX

Uncensored squ11z1/Mythos-nano in MLX 4-bit for Apple Silicon. A compact Claude Mythos reasoning model, fully local and private, no NVIDIA, no cloud, no API. Built for Mac developers who want an uncensored local model.

🚀 Run on your Mac

LM Studio: search richardyoung/mythos-nano-abliterated-mlx and load it.

mlx-lm (terminal):

pip install mlx-lm
mlx_lm.chat --model richardyoung/mythos-nano-abliterated-mlx

💾 Hardware

MLX 4-bit, ~1.7 GB. Apple Silicon (M1-M4), no NVIDIA/CUDA needed. Runs on any Mac, even 8 GB.

📊 Abliteration

Metric	Value
Base	squ11z1/Mythos-nano (Qwen2, 3B)
Refusals after	13 / 100
KL divergence	0.061
Method	Heretic directional ablation
Format	MLX 4-bit

Note: this is a small reasoning model and emits a brief <think> block before answering.

🧬 What is abliteration?

Heretic removes the model's internal refusal direction from the weights, so it stops declining requests, with no retraining and capabilities intact.
