# Centara/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED-Q2_K-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED`](https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED) for more details on the model.

# Gemma 4 E4B IT — Abliterated (Uncensored)

**Base model:** [google/gemma-4-E4B-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-E4B-it)  
**Method:** OBLITERATUS `aggressive` (whitened SVD + attention head surgery + winsorization)  
**Refusal rate:** 0% (20/20 test prompts complied)  
**Coherence:** Fully preserved — answers factual questions, writes code, poetry, and explanations correctly

## What is this?

This is an abliterated (uncensored) version of Google's Gemma 4 E4B instruction-tuned model. The refusal/guardrail behaviors have been surgically removed using mechanistic interpretability techniques, while preserving the model's reasoning and coherence capabilities.

## Method Details

- **Tool:** [OBLITERATUS](https://github.com/elder-plinius/OBLITERATUS) v0.1.2
- **Method:** `aggressive` — Whitened SVD + jailbreak-contrastive directions + attention head surgery
- **Direction extraction:** SVD with 2 directions
- **Refinement passes:** 3 (true iterative refinement)
- **Norm preservation:** Enabled
- **Winsorized activations:** Enabled (critical for Gemma 4 architecture which produces NaN in bfloat16)
- **Quantization during extraction:** 4-bit (bitsandbytes)
- **Strong layers modified:** 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29
- **Harmful/harmless prompt pairs:** 512 each

### Gemma 4 Architecture Notes

Gemma 4's architecture produces NaN activations in many layers during diff-in-means extraction with bfloat16 precision. The `basic` and `advanced` methods fail or produce lobotomized outputs. The `aggressive` method with whitened SVD and winsorized activations successfully handles this by:
1. Winsorizing extreme activation values before direction extraction
2. Using whitened SVD which is more robust to numerical instability
3. Attention head surgery which targets refusal at the attention level, not just residual stream

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True)
ids = inputs["input_ids"].to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(input_ids=ids, max_new_tokens=500, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][ids.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
