Qwen3.5 9B - Null-Space Abliterated
Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B with refusal behavior removed via orthogonal projection. Uses null-space constraints and adaptive layer weighting to preserve model capabilities.
Important: This model will produce uncensored outputs. Use responsibly.
Note: Version 20260303 (Low Quality) - There will likely be more versions after more thorough experimentation with hybrid weighting to boost reasoning.
Abliteration Techniques Used
- Winsorization: Clips outlier activations at the 99th 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
