Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B with its refusal behaviour removed by Heretic using Arbitrary-Rank Ablation (ARA), full-weight. bf16, same architecture and parameter count as the original, including its vision encoder, thinking control and the multi-token-prediction weights. Measured by Heretic on mlabonne/harmfulbehaviors (refusals) and mlabonne/harmlessalpaca (KL divergence, the drift in ordinary behaviour), with Heretic's default system prompt and a refusal-marker list that only matches real refusals. The numbers above come from an independent re-evaluation of the exported weights (evaluatemodel), not from the search, and they matched the search exactly. For reference, trohrbaugh/Qwen3.8-27B-heretic-ara reports 0/100 at KL 0.0535 for the same model, so this one lands at the same refusal rate with slightly less drift. ARA, full weight, on attn.oproj and mlp.downproj: Found by a 31-trial search whose first trial was seeded with the parameters published by trohrbaugh (layers 26-56, preserve 0.9432, steer 0.0009, overcorrect 0.5038, 10 neighbours). That seed reproduced on this hardware at 4/100…

Compatibility and lineage

Language coverage was not reported.

Reported base models: Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
