Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B Heretic — Cerebellum GGUF
Sensitivity-guided mixed-precision quantization of
llmfan46/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-GGUF,
which is itself a decensored variant of
produced by llmfan46 using Heretic v1.2.0.
All future Heretic versions of this build will live in this repository.
Version identifiers appear only in filenames, not in the repo name.
Files
| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Heretic-Cerebellum-v1-Q3_K_M.gguf | 11.96 GB (11,955,468,384 bytes) | Cerebellum v3 recipe — recommended |
| Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-mmproj-BF16.gguf | ~858 MB | Vision projector, passed through unmodified from llmfan46's repo |
The vision projector is required for multimodal (image/video) use.
It is identical to the file distributed by llmfan46 and is included here
for single-repo convenience only.
Provenance
- Base architecture: Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B — Qwen Team (Apache-2.0)
- Heretic variant: llmfan46/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-GGUF — llmfan46.
The BF16 GGUF from that repository was used as the direct quantization source.
llmfan46 applied Heretic v1.2.0 with the Magnitude-Preserving Orthogonal
Ablation (MPOA) method, targeting attn.o_proj, attn.out_proj, and
mlp.down_proj. Their reported result: 0.0015 KL divergence from base,
10/100 refusals vs 83/100 on the original model.
- Quantization: Cerebellum v3 recipe transferred verbatim from the stock
deucebucket/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Cerebellum-GGUF
build — same 360-entry tensor-type override file, same Unsloth coder imatrix.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks run on these GGUF files directly using llama.cpp on RTX 3090.
All numbers are audited; every failed answer was manually verified as a genuine
model error — audit reports are in benchmark_results/AUDIT_*.md.
Full per-question detail (summary JSON, samples JSONL, EvalPlus eval JSON,
adversarial audit reports) is in benchmark_results/ in this repository.
Heretic Cerebellum v1 (11.96 GB) vs baselines
| Benchmark | Heretic Cerebellum v1 (11.96 GB) | Stock Cerebellum v3 (11.1 GB) | Uniform Q3_K_M baseline (15.6 GB) | Notes |
|-----------|:---:|:---:|:---:|---|
| Wiki PPL (ctx 2048, 32 chunks) | 7.157 ± 0.103 | 7.099 ± 0.102 | — | RTX 3090, identical invocation |
| ARC-Challenge | 95.48% (1172 q) | 95.82% | 96.10% | 25-shot |

| RealWorldQA | 76.0% (n=50) | ~78% | — | single-question granularity ±2% |
Stock Cerebellum v3 is the same tensor allocation applied to the non-heretic base.
Uniform Q3_K_M baseline is the stock (non-heretic) model at 15.6 GB — the
standard comparison point for showing what mixed-precision buys at reduced size.
Head-to-head: same weights, uniform quant
llmfan46's own uniform Q3_K_M of the identical heretic weights (16.87 GB) was
benchmarked on the identical harness, same night, same protocol.
| Metric | Heretic Cerebellum v1 (11.96 GB) | Uniform Q3_K_M (16.87 GB) |
|--------|:---:|:---:|
| Wiki PPL (ctx 2048, 32 chunks) | 7.157 ± 0.103 | 7.220 ± 0.106 |
| ARC-Challenge | 95.48% | 95.56% |
| HellaSwag | 91.78% | 91.92% |
| MMLU-Redux | 75.42% | 74.88% |
| HumanEval base | 68.29% | 65.24% |
| HumanEval+ | 64.63% | 57.93% |
The Cerebellum allocation is 29% smaller and scores equal-or-better on PPL,
MMLU and HumanEval+ (both runs' per-question artifacts in benchmark_results_uniform/).
Heretic Abliteration Details (from llmfan46)
The following parameters are as reported in llmfan46's model card and are
reproduced here for downstream reference.
| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| direction_index | 19.93 |
| attn.out_proj.max_weight | 1.49 |
| attn.out_proj.max_weight_position | 23.45 |
| attn.out_proj.min_weight | 1.08 |
| attn.out_proj.min_weight_distance | 16.54 |
| mlp.down_proj.max_weight | 1.46 |
| mlp.down_proj.max_weight_position | 28.05 |
| mlp.down_proj.min_weight | 1.27 |
| mlp.down_proj.min_weight_distance | 18.79 |
| attn.o_proj.max_weight | 1.47 |
| attn.o_proj.max_weight_position | 24.35 |
| attn.o_proj.min_weight | 0.07 |
| attn.o_proj.min_weight_distance | 22.58 |
Targeted components: attn.o_proj, attn.out_proj, mlp.down_proj.
Tool: Heretic v1.2.0,
method: Magnitude-Preserving Orthogonal Ablation (MPOA)
(reference).
Cerebellum v3 Tensor Allocation
Same allocation as the stock build. Listed here for reference.
| Group | Precision | Rationale |
|-------|-----------|-----------|
| attn_qkv | Q3_K_M | Critical for vision and attention routing |
| ssm_out | Q3_K_M | Most sensitive tensor per ablation (+0.24 PPL) |
| ffn_gate_exps | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| ffn_up_exps | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| ffn_down_exps | Q2_K | Acceptable loss for size savings |
| ffn_gate_shexp | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| ffn_up_shexp | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| ffn_down_shexp | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| attn_gate | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
| ssm_alpha, ssm_beta | Q2_K | Q2_K regularization outperforms Q3_K_M in reverse ablation |
Protected: all norms (F32), SSM state parameters (F32), router tensors (default).
6 of 10 groups perform at least as well at Q2_K as at Q3_K_M in reverse
ablation — imatrix-guided Q2_K acts as regularization on gate, mixing, and
shared-expert weights for this architecture.
Perplexity Note
Wiki PPL for the Heretic build (7.157) is 0.058 higher than the stock
Cerebellum v3 (7.099). The difference is within the measurement uncertainty
(overlapping ±0.1 error bars) and reflects the small distributional shift
introduced by abliteration rather than quantization quality. Both builds
used the same wikitext-test.txt corpus, ctx 2048, 32 chunks, RTX 3090.
Measured launch (RTX 3090, llama.cpp)
Measured 2026-06-13 on a single RTX 3090 (24 GB), one llama-server, KV cache q8_0:
| metric | measured |
|---|---|
| decode speed | 149 tok/s |
| peak VRAM (4-slot serving) | 14.2 GB |
| max measured context (q8_0 KV) | 131,072 |
llama-server -m Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Heretic-Cerebellum-v1-Q3_K_M.gguf \
-ngl 99 --parallel 4 -c 24576 --jinja
_This rig's measurements; no quality claims beyond them._
Runtime — Casual Deployment
llama-server \
--model Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Heretic-Cerebellum-v1-Q3_K_M.gguf \
--mmproj Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-mmproj-BF16.gguf \
--n-gpu-layers 99 \
--ctx-size 8192 \
--jinja
--jinja is required for Qwen3.6. The enable_thinking chat-template flag
only takes effect when the Jinja template path is active; without it, the
model defaults to thinking mode on every request.
Non-thinking requests require an explicit flag at the API level:
{"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": false}}
Qwen3.6 does not support the /think and /nothink soft-switch tokens
used by Qwen3.5. Thinking mode is on by default.
Recommended Sampling Parameters
From the official Qwen3.6-35B-A3B documentation.
| Mode | temperature | top_p | top_k | min_p | presence_penalty | repetition_penalty |
|------|-------------|-------|-------|-------|------------------|--------------------|
| Thinking — general | 1.0 | 0.95 | 20 | 0.0 | 1.5 | 1.0 |
| Thinking — precise coding (WebDev) | 0.6 | 0.95 | 20 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 |
| Non-thinking (instruct) | 0.7 | 0.80 | 20 | 0.0 | 1.5 | 1.0 |
presence_penalty can be adjusted between 0 and 2 to reduce repetition loops;
higher values may occasionally cause language mixing.
Reproduction
Standard Cerebellum recipe. The tensor-type override file and ablation logs
from the stock v3 build apply directly.
# 1. imatrix (constant ~300 MB RAM)
python -m osmosis.imatrix_stream \
--model Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-BF16.gguf \
--output imatrix.dat
# 2. quantize with stock llama-quantize
llama-quantize \
--imatrix imatrix.dat \
--tensor-type-file cerebellum_v3_overrides.txt \
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-BF16.gguf \
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Heretic-Cerebellum-v1-Q3_K_M.gguf \
Q3_K_M
The imatrix used for this build was generated from the Unsloth coder corpus
(same corpus as the stock Cerebellum v3 build).
The 360-line tensor override file (cerebellum_v3_overrides.txt) is included
in this repository alongside the ablation logs.
Benchmark Artifacts
Summary JSONs, per-question JSONL samples, EvalPlus eval JSON files, and
adversarial audit reports (AUDIT_*.md) are in benchmark_results/ in this
repository per project policy.
