QWEN3.8-27B-ABLITERATED-GGUF

Full standard GGUF quant ladder of the Blackfrost abliterated Qwen3.8-27B · dense multimodal model for llama.cpp

Built by Blackfrost · Las Vegas, NV

All standard quants live

The complete standard K-quant ladder (Q2_K through Q8_0) and both vision projectors are included. No IQ/IK or importance-matrix quants are used.

Experimental release

This is a newly supported architecture and a deliberately modified research checkpoint. Validate the selected quant, context, sampling, vision, tools, and structured-output behavior in your own workload before deployment.

Refusal benchmark — R1-HARMFUL-BENCH-450

The release score is 11 residual refusals from 450 original cases (2.4%). The shipped Blackfrost short execution prompt is embedded once in the GGUF chat template.

This result is a sequential, manually reviewed residual funnel measured on the W4A4 NVFP4 derivative of the same BF16 parent. It is not a fresh full-450 GGUF run with every case presented under the final short prompt.

evaluation stage	cases evaluated	material answer	true refusal remaining	other
Raw upstream template	450	360	88	2 capability limitations
Blackfrost operational-prompt retest	88 residuals	53	33	1 limitation, 1 reproducible incoherent output
Shipped short execution-prompt retest	33 residuals	22	11	0
Final residual count	450 original cases	—	11 (2.4%)	—

The 450-case source set contains 150 AdvBench, 150 StrongREJECT, and 150 XSTest prompts. The final 11 comprise 1 AdvBench, 5 StrongREJECT, and 5 XSTest cases. An opening objection followed by a materially useful payload was counted as softened compliance, not as a refusal; a true refusal means the requested payload never arrived.

Why this model exists

Qwen3.8-27B is the dense, deployment-friendly member of the Qwen3.8 family. This is the abliterated Blackfrost build: refusal behavior was reduced through a weight-level process, then the BF16 parent was converted into a standard GGUF ladder for local llama.cpp inference.

It is not a coding fine-tune, merge, LoRA, or pruned model.

Specifications

Architecture	Qwen3.8 dense hybrid VLM · 64 text layers · Gated DeltaNet + full attention · 27-layer vision tower
Parent	Blackfrost-AI/Qwen3.8-27B-ABLITERATED-BF16
Base	Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B · Apache-2.0
Transform	Abliterated — refusal surface modified at weight level; no fine-tuning or pruning
Formats	Q2_K, Q3_K_S, Q3_K_M, Q4_K_S, Q4_K_M, Q5_K_S, Q5_K_M, Q6_K, Q8_0
Context	262,144 tokens architecturally; practical context depends on RAM/VRAM and concurrency
Modalities	Text, image, and video input; text output
Chat behavior	Blackfrost short execution prompt embedded in the default Jinja chat template
Speculative head	Not included in these GGUF files; the text ladder targets broad current llama.cpp compatibility

Quant ladder

quant	size	recommended for
Q2_K	10.7 GB	smallest standard quant; largest quality trade-off
Q3_K_S	12.1 GB	very tight memory
Q3_K_M	13.3 GB	compact general use
Q4_K_S	15.6 GB	lower-memory Q4 option
Q4_K_M	16.5 GB	default — balanced quality and footprint
Q5_K_S	18.7 GB	higher fidelity
Q5_K_M	19.2 GB	strong quality/size balance
Q6_K	22.1 GB	near-BF16 behavior for many workloads
Q8_0	28.6 GB	maximum fidelity in the ladder

File sizes are decimal GB as displayed by Hugging Face. Runtime memory also includes context state, compute buffers, the optional vision projector, and server overhead.

Vision projector files

Load one text quant plus one mmproj file for image or video input:

file	size	purpose
mmproj-Qwen3.8-27B-ABLITERATED-F16.gguf	0.93 GB	full-fidelity vision projector
mmproj-Qwen3.8-27B-ABLITERATED-Q8_0.gguf	0.63 GB	compact projector; unsupported 4,304-wide tensors retain F16 automatically

Serving with llama.cpp

Use a current llama.cpp build with llama-server. Q4_K_M plus the compact projector was load- and generation-tested through the OpenAI-compatible chat API on an NVIDIA B200.

• Text only: omit --mmproj and do not download a projector.
• CPU or hybrid inference: lower -ngl; use -ngl 0 for CPU-only operation.
• Larger context: increase -c only after checking memory headroom at the intended concurrency.
• Embedded prompt: keep --jinja enabled so the repository's default chat template is applied.
• One-command kit: deploy/serve.sh downloads and serves the selected quant; see deploy/DEPLOYMENT.md for the full guide.

Quality check

WikiText-2 rolling perplexity was measured on the parent artifacts through the same 8K API harness:

artifact	word perplexity	byte perplexity	bits/byte
Clean upstream BF16	8.4764	1.4914	0.5766
Blackfrost W4A4 NVFP4 derivative	9.3677	1.5195	0.6036

These figures are parent-artifact measurements, not per-quant GGUF perplexity scores. The Q4_K_M GGUF and compact projector passed a real llama.cpp load and chat-generation smoke test.

Deployment responsibility

This checkpoint has a deliberately reduced refusal surface. Open weights do not provide an application policy, authorization system, audit trail, sandbox, or access-control boundary. Operators are responsible for authenticated access, least-privilege tool credentials, execution isolation, logging, and approval boundaries appropriate to their deployment.

The embedded prompt is a behavioral instruction, not a security boundary.

---

Disclaimer

Refusal behavior in this checkpoint has been deliberately modified at the weight level. It is not a safety-stock model and must not be represented as one.

This checkpoint is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. Measurements describe only the tested artifacts, prompts, templates, samplers, serving engines, and review criteria. They do not guarantee that any particular input will be accepted or refused, that every upstream capability is retained, or that the measurements generalize to multimodal, tool-use, long-context, or multi-turn settings.

The derivative remains subject to the Apache 2.0 license shipped with the official Qwen3.8-27B checkpoint.
