Qwen3.5-9B-heretic — GGUF
This repository hosts GGUF weights and the associated vision projection matrix for Qwen3.5-9B-heretic, quantized from the source floating-point tensors provided by coder3101/Qwen3.5-9B-heretic.
About the Model
Qwen3.5-9B is a vision-language model by the Qwen Team (Alibaba) with a hybrid architecture combining Gated Delta Networks and sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) for high-throughput inference with minimal latency. The model supports 201 languages and dialects, integrates a native vision encoder via early-fusion multimodal training, and was post-trained with reinforcement learning at scale across million-agent environments. It natively supports tool calling, agentic pipelines, and extended context up to 262,144 tokens. The model thinks by default, generating reasoning content before its final response.
The heretic suffix denotes post-processing via Heretic v1.2.0 with the Multi-directional refusal suppression method performed by coder3101, which simultaneously targets multiple refusal directions across model layers to achieve a thorough and stable abliteration.

Inference
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The vision projector (--mmproj) must be supplied at runtime whenever image inputs are used. Omitting it disables multimodal capability entirely.
> [!NOTE]
> This model thinks by default and will emit reasoning content before its final answer. To disable this, set enable_thinking: False if your inference stack supports it; standard llama.cpp does not expose this toggle directly, so expect reasoning output unless you strip it client-side.

Notes & Limitations
- This model is abliterated and will generate content that standard aligned models refuse. Use responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws.
- Vision tensors are kept at BF16 to prevent spatial feature degradation during visual token extraction.
- For better output quality at this quantization level, consider the imatrix variant in the companion repository.
