🧠 About This Model
huihui-ai/Qwen3-8B-abliterated is a specialized modification of the Qwen3 8B architecture where refusal mechanisms have been systematically neutralized using activation steering and orthogonal projection techniques.
🎯 Key Enhancements in this PocketWeights Edition
- Zero Refusals & Full Compliance: Designed to eliminate false-positive refusals, making it ideal for offline cybersecurity research, automated red-teaming, penetration testing analysis, and unrestricted creative workflows.
- Preserved Foundational Reasoning: Unlike crude fine-tunes, the abliteration process removes refusal vectors while retaining core reasoning, logic, and coding capabilities.
- Consumer GPU Ready: Quantized to fit comfortably within 6GB and 8GB VRAM graphics cards with near-lossless output quality.
> ⚠️ Disclaimer: This model contains no built-in guardrails or safety filters. It is intended for authorized security research, red-teaming simulations, and local sandbox environments.

🚀 Beginner's Quick Start Guide
Running this uncensored model offline on your machine requires zero complex setup:
Option 1: LM Studio (Visual GUI — Easiest)
- Download and open LM Studio (Available free for Windows, macOS, and Linux).
- Click the Magnifying Glass (Search) icon on the left panel.
- Paste:
PocketWeights/Qwen3-8B-abliterated-GGUF - Click Download next to Q4_K_M or Q6_K, navigate to the Chat Tab, load the model at the top, and start your session!
Option 2: Ollama (Terminal / CLI)
If you use Ollama, you can launch the model instantly in your terminal:
# Run standard 4-bit version
ollama run hf.co/PocketWeights/Qwen3-8B-abliterated-GGUF:Q4_K_M
# Or run the high-precision 6-bit version
ollama run hf.co/PocketWeights/Qwen3-8B-abliterated-GGUF:Q6_K
Option 3: Jan / Kobold.cpp / llama.cpp
Direct File Download: Head to the Files and versions tab above and download your desired .gguf file.
Load it directly into Jan.ai, Kobold.cpp, Text-Generation-WebUI, or execute via llama.cpp:
llama-cli -m Qwen3-8B-abliterated-GGUF-Q4_K_M.gguf -p "Analyze the following security policy..."
