Qwen3.5-9B-Uncensored

We're exploring a new abliteration strategy and used the 9B model as a testbed. The result turned out well — this is currently the state-of-the-art abliterated 9B model across all three axes at once: capability retention, output brevity, and refusal removal. Three variants are published for different deployment needs — pick the one that matches your setup.

我们在尝试一个新的消融策略,以 9B 模型作为练兵场。效果不错 —— 这是目前 abliterated 9B 领域在能力保留、输出简洁、拒绝移除三方面同时达到最优的一版。下面三个仓分别对应不同的部署场景,按需选择即可。

This repo is the full-precision bf16 reference weight, 19 GB. Quantized variants: -W4A16 — INT4 weight + FP16 activation, 8.2 GB, for vLLM serving on 12-24 GB GPUs · -GGUF — seven llama.cpp quantization levels from Q3_K_M (~4.5 GB) to BF16 (~18 GB), covering laptops to workstations.

本仓是全精度 bf16 参考权重,19 GB。 量化版本: -W4A16 — INT4 权重 + FP16 激活,8.2 GB,面向 vLLM 部署(12-24 GB GPU)· -GGUF — 七档 llama.cpp 量化(Q3_K_M ~4.5 GB 至 BF16 ~18 GB),覆盖笔记本到工作站。

Based on Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B, refusal directions are removed from the residual stream via directional ablation (Arditi et al. 2024). The vision tower is untouched — image understanding is identical to the base model.

在 Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B 基础上,通过 Arditi et al. 2024 方向性消融移除残差流中的拒绝方向。视觉塔零改动, 图像理解与原模型完全一致。

All numbers below are measured, not cited. All compared models (base + two community ablations + this model) were run on the same machine, same harness, same sampled question set, same fixed seed, same decoding settings — comparisons are fair.

以下所有数字都是实测,不是引用。所有对比模型(base + 两个社区消融版 + 本模型)在同一台机器、同一 harness、同一批采样题、同一固定 seed、同一解码设置下跑,可比性完整。

1. Key results / 核心结论

Refusal rate: 100 held-out harmful prompts, base refuses 99 → this model refuses 2 (effectively 0).
Capability retained: 11-benchmark mean -0.54pp (77.47 → 76.93) — the best capability retention among the abliterated family.
Ablation also improved verbosity: median output tokens -17.7%, total generation tokens -0.9%, truncation rate -15% — more concise than base, an order of magnitude more concise than the community ablations.
拒绝率:100 条 held-out harmful,base 拒绝 99 条 → 本模型拒绝 2 条(实用上等于 0)
能力保留:11 项基准均值 -0.54pp(vs base 77.47 → 76.93)—— abliterated 家族中能力保留最好的一版
消融同时改善过度思考:中位输出 token -17.7%、11 项总输出 -0.9%、截断率 -15% —— vs base 尚且更简洁,vs 社区消融版更是差一个数量级

2. Refusal comparison / 拒绝率对比

100 harmful prompts drawn from mlabonne/harmful_behaviors test split, 50 harmless controls from mlabonne/harmless_alpaca. Greedy decoding, 192 tokens, thinking disabled. A fixed judge model reads the full response text to decide refusal (not keyword matching — not fooled by hedging language).

100 条 harmful 提示来自 mlabonne 数据集 test split,50 条 harmless 对照来自同源。 贪心解码,192 tokens,思考关闭。一个固定裁判模型读整段完整回复判定 refuse。

Model	Refuses / 100	Harmless answered / 50
`Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B` (base)	99	49
`Qwen3.5-9B-heretic-v2` (community A)	1	—
`Huihui-Qwen3.5-9B-abliterated` (community B)	0	—
This model	2	50

3. Capability comparison / 能力评测

Same fixed seed, same harness, same items. All 4 models run under vLLM TP=2 + fp8_e5m2 KV + 24576 max output tokens, thinking enabled.

同一固定 seed,同 harness,同题,4 个模型都在同 vLLM TP=2 + fp8_e5m2 KV + 24576 max output tokens 下跑,开启 thinking。

Mean	—	77.47	72.63	58.58	76.93

Among the abliterated family (excluding base): 7 firsts out of 11, mean 76.14 leads Heretic-v2 (72.63, +3.5pp) and Huihui (58.58, +17.6pp) by wide margins.

在 abliterated 家族中(不算 base):7 项第一 / 11,均值 76.14 领先 Heretic-v2 3.5pp, 碾压 Huihui 17.6pp。

† TruthfulQA: when run serially with the other 10 benchmarks, vLLM prefix-cache / KV state contamination pulled the score to 54. Re-run in isolation with the same seed: 62.68. Table uses the fair number.

† TruthfulQA:11 项串行跑时 vLLM prefix cache/KV state 累积导致偏低(54);同 seed 单独重跑得 62.68(与其它项排除截断分同口径),表内取此数。

TruthfulQA is behavioral drift, not knowledge loss: manual read of the 22 flipped items shows the base prefers "this is a myth" framing while this model prefers the popular claim. Do not use this model as an authority on common-knowledge myths.

不是能力回退,是行为漂移(手工读 22 个翻转题:原模型偏好"这是迷思"式表述,本模型偏好流行观点)。不要拿本模型当常识性谣言的事实来源。

4. Output brevity / 输出简洁度

Qwen's "overthinking" and verbosity are well-known pain points. Same benchmarks, same fixed seed:

Qwen 系列的"过度思考"和"啰嗦"是公认痛点。同基准同固定 seed 下测输出 token 使用:

Metric	Base	Community A	Community B	This model
Median p50 output tokens	3,736	6,196 (+66%)	10,608 (+184%)	3,076 (-17.7%)
Total gen tokens (11 tasks)	8.13M	12.20M (+50%)	17.05M (+110%)	8.06M (-0.9%)
Mean truncation rate	17.0%	18.6%	33.6%	14.5% (-15%)

Fully-ablated community versions expand across the board — Heretic-v2 +66% median, Huihui nearly doubles. This model is the only ablation that is more concise than base (median -17.7%, total slightly below base, truncation -15%). The method removed the refusal direction without breaking the model's "stop when done" capability; over-ablation seems to break that stopping capability.

社区版全线膨胀 —— Heretic-v2 中位 +66%,Huihui 差点翻倍。本模型是唯一比 base 更简洁的消融版本(中位 -17.7%,总量比 base 略低,截断 -15%)。说明方法只移除了拒绝方向, 没打破 model 的 stop-when-done 能力;过度消融会让 model 停不下来。

5. Method / 方法

Single-direction weight-space ablation (Arditi et al. 2024)
Direction derived from per-sample harmful-vs-harmless activation differences (not mean difference — more noise-resistant)
Projection is norm-preserving (each row re-scaled to original L2 after subtracting the projection)
67 tensors modified across all layers: linear_attn.out_proj + self_attn.o_proj + mlp.down_proj + embed_tokens + 2 MTP head tensors
Vision tower and lm_head are untouched
权重空间单方向消融,方向从逐样本 harmful vs harmless 激活差取(不是均值差,更抗噪)
投影为 norm-preserving(每行去投影后按 L2 缩回原模长)
修改 67 个张量:所有层的 linear_attn.out_proj + self_attn.o_proj + mlp.down_proj
- embed_tokens + 2 个 MTP head 张量;视觉塔和 lm_head 完全未改动

Activation extraction used 128+128 harmful/harmless prompts (mlabonne datasets, chat template applied, thinking off). Specific direction-search, alpha-sweep, and layer-scan hyperparameters are not publicly released (reasonable commercial protection).

激活提取用 128+128 条 harmful/harmless 提示(mlabonne 数据集,应用 chat 模板,关闭思考)。方向搜索、α 扫描、层扫等具体超参未公开(合理商业保护)。

6. Quantized variants and deployment / 量化版本与部署

Format	Repo	Size	Recommended runtime
bf16 (this repo)	`bowmanslayer/Qwen3.5-9B-Uncensored`	19 GB	Reference weight
W4A16 (AutoRound → GPTQ)	`bowmanslayer/Qwen3.5-9B-Uncensored-W4A16`	8.2 GB	vLLM `gptq_marlin`
GGUF (7 levels)	`bowmanslayer/Qwen3.5-9B-Uncensored-GGUF`	see repo	llama.cpp

6.1 vLLM with fp8 KV cache / vLLM + fp8 KV cache

Recommended vLLM launch: 推荐 vLLM 启动:

bash

vllm serve <repo-or-path> \
  --dtype float16 --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
  --kv-cache-dtype fp8_e5m2 \
  --max-model-len 28672 --max-num-seqs 16 \
  --reasoning-parser qwen3

Deployment case, measured on our test rig (2× RTX 3090; this is what we happen to run on, not a hardware requirement — the model runs on any GPU that fits the weights):

部署案例(这是我们自己的测试机型 2× RTX 3090,非硬件要求 —— 只要显存装得下权重,任何 GPU 都能跑):

fp8_e5m2 KV vs fp16 KV, KV cache capacity 1.80× (TP=2: 680k → 1.22M tokens)
Single 3090 with fp8_e5m2 KV also gets 1.67× headroom
Benchmark accuracy diff in noise range (3 tasks × 450 items, abs delta +0.22)
fp8_e5m2 KV vs fp16 KV,KV cache 容量 1.80x(TP=2 下从 680k tokens → 1.22M tokens)
单张 3090 上 fp8_e5m2 KV 亦有 1.67x 提升
各基准精度差在噪声范围(3 项 450 题 abs 差 +0.22)

6.2 MTP speculative decoding / MTP 投机解码

Not recommended. vLLM 0.20.2 shows num_speculative_tokens=1..4 cuts throughput by 40-46%; K=5 triggers CUDA illegal memory. Root cause is architectural (1-layer MTP does multiple forwards per step), not specific to this ablation. Not tested on llama.cpp side.

不推荐启用。vLLM 0.20.2 实测 num_speculative_tokens=1..4 让生成速度下降 40-46%, K=5 触发 CUDA illegal memory。原因是架构性的(1 层 MTP 每步 forward 多次),不是本次消融特有。llama.cpp 侧未测。

7. Known limitations / 已知缺陷

Capability cost ≈ mean -0.54pp (11 tasks). Largest per-task drops: MATH-500 -5, HumanEval -4.3, TruthfulQA -24 (behavioral, see below).
TruthfulQA is behavioral drift, not knowledge loss. The model has not forgotten correct answers, only stopped preferring "myth-busting" framing. Do not use it as an authority on common-knowledge myths.
Refusal removal is not absolute: 2 of 100 held-out harmful still refused. Coverage is English prompts + 2 datasets only. Other languages, other prompt distributions, multi-turn adversarial not tested.
MTP speculative decoding unusable on vLLM 0.20.2 (see §6.2).
Vision tower is untouched — image understanding inherits base behavior as-is, good or bad. No multi-modal safety re-alignment.
能力代价 ≈ 均值 -0.54pp(11 项)。分项最大掉幅 MATH-500 -5、HumanEval -4.3、 TruthfulQA -24(行为性)
TruthfulQA 是行为漂移不是知识损伤,模型没有忘掉正确答案。不要拿它当常识性谣言的事实来源
拒绝移除不是绝对:100 条 held-out harmful 里仍有 2 条被拒;覆盖范围仅英文提示 + 两个数据集
MTP speculative decoding 在 vLLM 0.20.2 上不可用(见 §6.2)
视觉塔未改动,图像理解沿用原模型;多模态输入未做安全再对齐

② Safety alignment has been removed / 安全对齐已被移除

This is the point of the model, and you should read this before downloading. 这是模型的核心属性,下载前请务必阅读。

The ablation removes the refusal behaviour trained into Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B. Automated refusal testing over 100 held-out adversarial prompts recorded 2/100, versus 99/100 for the base model.

本模型的消融移除了 Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B 训练进去的拒绝行为。在 100 条 held-out 对抗提示上的自动测试记录到 2/100,而基座模型是 99/100。
