Uncensored
ultragemma4-e2b-heretic-uncensored is a reasoning-capable language model built on top of google/gemma-4-E2B-it and modified using the heretic abliteration toolkit. The model applies refusal-direction analysis and targeted weight-space interventions to reduce internal refusal behaviors while preserving instruction-following, reasoning capabilities, and general conversational performance.
Important
This model is intended strictly for research and learning purposes. Due to reduced internal refusal mechanisms, it may generate sensitive or unrestricted content. Users assume full responsibility for how the model is used. The authors and hosting platform disclaim any liability for generated outputs.
Note
This model is experimental and may generate unexpected behaviors or artifacts in certain scenarios.
Use Q4_K_S or higher for standard performance. Q4_K_M is recommended.
Key Highlights
- Heretic-Based Abliteration: Modified using the Heretic toolkit to identify and alter refusal-related representations within the model.
- Reduced Refusal Behavior: Optimized to minimize internal refusal tendencies while maintaining instruction-following capabilities.
- Gemma 4 Backbone: Built directly on top of google/gemma-4-E2B-it.
- Reasoning-Oriented Performance: Preserves multi-step reasoning and analytical capabilities after abliteration.
- Research-Focused Release: Designed for alignment research, model behavior analysis, and evaluation of refusal-direction modifications.
- Efficient E2B Deployment: Suitable for local inference, research environments, and optimized deployment setups.

Intended Use
- Alignment Research: Studying refusal-direction analysis and behavior modification techniques.
- Model Evaluation: Benchmarking reasoning, instruction-following, and safety-related behaviors.
- Red Teaming: Analyzing model responses under reduced-refusal conditions.
- Local Deployment: Running compact Gemma 4 models in research and experimentation environments.
- Abliteration Studies: Exploring the effects of targeted weight-space modifications on model behavior.
Limitations & Risks
Important Note: This model intentionally reduces built-in refusal mechanisms.
- Sensitive Content Risk: May generate unrestricted, controversial, or unsafe outputs.
- User Responsibility: Requires careful and ethical use.
- Experimental Modifications: Behavior may differ significantly from the original model.
- Alignment Trade-offs: Reduced refusal behavior may impact safety filtering and response constraints.
- Potential Artifacts: Certain prompts may expose unexpected outputs resulting from the abliteration process.
Acknowledgements
- google/gemma-4-E2B-it: Gemma is a family of open models built by Google DeepMind. Gemma 4 models are multimodal, handling text and image input (with audio supported on small models) and generating text output. This release includes open-weights models in both pre-trained and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma 4 features a context window of up to 256K tokens and maintains multilingual support in over 140 languages.
Featuring both Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures, Gemma 4 is well-suited for tasks like text generation, coding, and reasoning. The models are available in four distinct sizes: E2B, E4B, 26B A4B, and 31B. Their diverse sizes make them deployable in environments ranging from high-end phones to laptops and servers, democratizing access to state-of-the-art AI.
