Zen Designer GGUF: 235B Vision-Language Model (Abliterated)
235B MoE | Vision-Language | GGUF Quantized | Abliterated
Fine-tuned from Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct (Apache-2.0) with Hanzo identity + agentic-data training + abliteration, then GGUF-quantized. A 235B-total / 22B-active Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model supporting images, video, documents, charts, GUIs, and spatial reasoning with 256K context.

Quick Start
llama.cpp
# Download a split (Q2_K example — replace with Q4_K_M filename as appropriate)
# Then run:
llama-cli \
--model zen-designer-235b-a22b-instruct-abliterated-Q2_K-00001-of-00015.gguf \
--mmproj mmproj-zen-designer-235b-a22b-instruct-abliterated-f16.gguf \
--image your_image.jpg \
--prompt "Describe this image in detail." \
-n 1024 \
--ctx-size 8192 \
--temp 0.7
For multi-part files, place all split parts in the same directory and point --model to part 00001.
Vision Tasks
Zen Designer handles a broad range of visual inputs:
- Image analysis and description
- Document and PDF parsing
- Chart and table extraction
- GUI navigation and screen understanding
- Video understanding with temporal reasoning
- Bounding box and spatial grounding

Abliteration
This model has been abliterated — a technique that removes refusal behaviors encoded in the model weights without fine-tuning. The process works by identifying the refusal direction in the model's residual stream and projecting it out of the weight matrices.
What abliteration does:
- Removes hardcoded refusal responses
- Preserves all other capabilities and knowledge
- Does not alter factual knowledge or reasoning ability
What abliteration does not do:
- Add harmful knowledge the base model lacked
- Guarantee any specific behavior
- Replace a system prompt or application-level safety policy
Users are responsible for appropriate deployment and use of abliterated models. Apply system prompts and application-layer controls to define model behavior for your use case.
