mistralai/ministral-3-3b-instruct-2512 with refusal behavior removed via orthogonal projection. Uses null-space constraints and adaptive layer weighting to preserve model capabilities.

Note: This model will produce uncensored outputs. Use responsibly.

GGUF quantizations available at: jwest33/ministral-3-3b-instruct-2512-null-space-abliterated-GGUF

Abliteration Techniques Used

Winsorization: Clips outlier activations at the 99.5th percentile for cleaner refusal direction estimation
Null-Space Projection: Preserves model capabilities by constraining weight updates to the null space of preservation activations
Adaptive Weighting: Applies Gaussian-weighted per-layer ablation strength, focusing on middle-to-later layers where refusal behavior concentrates
Norm Preservation: Maintains original Frobenius norms of weight matrices after projection

Parameter	Value
Harmful Prompts	5000
Harmless Prompts	1226
Winsorization	99.5th percentile
Null-Space Constraints	rank ratio: 0.90
Directional Multiplier	1.10
