About this model
rockerBOO's decensored derivative of Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B, provided as safetensors weights under the Apache 2.0 license. The creator describes it as made using Heretic v2.0.0.dev0 with arbitrary-rank ablation, applying parameters from start_layer_index 10 to end_layer_index 29, preserve_good_behavior_weight 0.5835, steer_bad_behavior_weight 0.0010, overcorrect_relative_weight 0.9624, and neighbor_count 15. According to the model card, this reduces refusals from 100/100 in the original model to 2/100, with a KL divergence of 0.0744. The card also states the model is reproducible via the reproduce directory. These refusal and divergence figures are creator-reported and have not been independently tested here.

Tools to customize it further
Remove more refusals
- Heretic ↗ ★ 36,286
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 ↗ ★ 8,930
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 ↗ ★ 78,468
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 ↗ ★ 75,695
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 ↗ ★ 132,124
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 ↗ ★ 7,451
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 ↗ ★ 7,415
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 ↗ ★ 84,633
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 run, host, redistribute, or test model weights.
