About this model

DavidAU's Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1 is a derivative of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, provided as safetensors weights under the Apache-2.0 license. Hugging Face lists this as a fine-tuned derivative, and the creator describes the actual change as COLD FUSION (GAIN+Unsloth) fine tuning and training, a very light but strongly focused tune aimed at raising general intelligence and reducing thinking tokens to 1/10 to 1/2 of normal Qwen models. According to the model card, the creator reports that this version maintains or exceeds Qwen 3.8 detail level even at low reasoning effort, and that perplexity dropped compared with the base Qwen3.8-27B. The card also includes Nightmedia benchmark tables for this derivative and untuned Qwen3.8-27B, with the creator saying the derivative exceeds the untuned base on several metrics. The creator notes that the reduction in thinking tokens may need additional balancing to maintain output detail, and that this is prep for more advanced Fable Fusion 711 27B versions.

Tools to customize it further

Remove more refusals

  • Heretic ↗ ★ 36,421

    Removes refusal behavior from transformer models automatically. It pairs directional ablation (abliteration) with an Optuna parameter search that tries to cut refusals while keeping the model close to the original, so you don't have to pick layers by hand.

  • OBLITERATUS ↗ ★ 8,946

    A larger refusal-removal toolkit with several abliteration methods, usable locally or through a hosted Hugging Face Space. Check the telemetry setting before you run it: the README describes telemetry as opt-in, but on by default in the Spaces version.

Fine-tune it on your own data

  • Unsloth ↗ ★ 78,528

    A desktop app and Python library for running and training models locally. Its README lists LoRA, QLoRA, full fine-tuning, DPO and GRPO, plus export to formats including GGUF, on Windows, Linux, WSL and macOS.

  • LlamaFactory ↗ ★ 75,713

    Fine-tunes more than 100 language and vision-language models from a command line or a browser-based Web UI, aimed at training without writing code.

Make a smaller download (quantize)

  • llama.cpp ↗ ★ 132,260

    Runs models locally and includes the tools behind most GGUF files. A conversion script turns Hugging Face weights into GGUF, and llama-quantize shrinks a high-precision GGUF to lower-bit formats, which can cost some accuracy.

  • MLX LM ↗ ★ 7,467

    Apple's MLX package for running and fine-tuning models on Apple silicon. It can quantize models and upload them to the Hugging Face Hub, and supports LoRA and full fine-tuning.

Merge it with another model

  • mergekit ↗ ★ 7,414

    Merges pretrained models with many merge methods. It works out-of-core, so merges can run on a CPU or with as little as 8 GB of VRAM, and it also handles LoRA extraction and mixture-of-experts merges.

Learn the techniques

  • LLM Course ↗ ★ 84,667

    A free course with roadmaps and Colab notebooks. Its notebooks include one-click tools for merging with MergeKit, quantizing to GGUF, GPTQ, EXL2, AWQ and HQQ, and automatic abliteration with custom datasets.

Inspect before you run

Low refusal is not proof of correctness. Outputs can be inaccurate, harmful, or biased. Review the model card, license and files yourself. A license tag is not commercial-use advice. Parameter counts are source metadata; no hardware compatibility is implied.

This directory does not host or redistribute model weights. Refusal profiles are measured by us on a fixed prompt set; all other behavior claims are source-reported.
