By applying Heretic's Ablated Refusal Adaptation (ARA), the base refusal behavior was removed at the weight level. The result keeps MiniMax-M2.7's sparse MoE reasoning, long-context instruction following, and general capability profile, but no longer defaults to the original refusal pattern.

Methodology & Model Notes

MiniMax-M2.7 is a 229B sparse MoE model with 10B active parameters per token, 62 layers, hybrid attention, 256 local experts with 8 active per token, and a 200K context window.

This release was produced with a direct Heretic ARA run using the fixed parameter set below:

start_layer_index = 30
end_layer_index = 51
preserve_good_behavior_weight = 0.4512
steer_bad_behavior_weight = 0.0037
overcorrect_relative_weight = 0.8804
neighbor_count = 14

The direct ARA run completed with Refusals: 0/25.

The resulting abliterated checkpoint was exported to BF16 and then converted to GGUF for llama.cpp-compatible deployment.
