Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-abliterated

Unrestricted version of mistralai/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-2512, created using Abliterix.

Model Details

Performance

Evaluated with an LLM judge (Gemini Flash) on 100 harmful prompts. KL divergence of 0.0086 indicates the model's general capabilities are virtually identical to the original.

How It Was Made

1. Computed refusal directions from 400 harmful vs 400 benign prompt pairs across all 40 layers
2. Applied orthogonalized abliteration to isolate refusal-specific activation patterns
3. Steered two component types independently: attention output projections (GQA) and MLP down-projections
4. Optimized via Optuna TPE over 50 trials (15 warmup), selected trial #25

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    "wangzhang/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-abliterated",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "wangzhang/Devstral-Small-2-24B-Instruct-abliterated",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Your question here"}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

Note: This model uses AutoModelForImageTextToText (Mistral3 architecture), not AutoModelForCausalLM.

Hardware Requirements

Disclaimer

This model is intended for research purposes only. The removal of safety guardrails means the model will comply with requests that the original model would refuse. Users are responsible for ensuring their use complies with applicable laws and regulations.

English

This is an experimental, modified model provided for research, evaluation, and other lawful purposes. Its safety alignment, refusal behavior, or other safeguards may have been weakened or removed. It may produce inaccurate, biased, offensive, explicit, dangerous, or illegal content. Outputs are not professional advice and must not be relied on for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or other high-stakes decisions without qualified human review.

You are solely responsible for how you access, use, deploy, fine-tune, or redistribute this model and its outputs, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, licenses, third-party rights, platform policies, and the original model's terms. Do not use it to facilitate harm, illegal activity, malware, fraud, privacy violations, targeted harassment, weapons development, or decisions that materially affect a person's rights or access to essential services without appropriate authorization, safeguards, and qualified oversight.

Before deployment, perform a context-specific risk assessment and testing; use human oversight, access controls, content filtering, rate limits, monitoring, logging, and incident-response procedures as appropriate. Preserve this notice in downstream redistributions.
