Gemma 4 26B-A4B Instruct — Abliterated

Abliterated version of google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it. Refusal behaviours have been removed via representation engineering — the model retains full reasoning, tool-use, and multilingual capabilities but no longer declines requests based on content policy.

Use responsibly. This model will comply with requests the base model would refuse.

What is Abliteration?

Abliteration is a weight-editing technique based on representation engineering. The process:

Run a set of harmful and harmless prompts through the model
Capture the hidden state at every decoder layer for each prompt
Compute the refusal direction: normalize(mean_harmful − mean_harmless) per layer
Project that direction out of every Linear weight matrix in every layer — attention projections (q/k/v/o_proj) and all MoE expert matrices (gate/up/down_proj for all 128 routed experts + 1 shared expert), skipping the MoE router to preserve expert routing integrity
Save the modified weights

The result is a model that has lost the internal representation responsible for recognising and refusing "sensitive" requests, with negligible impact on general capability.

Model Details

Property	Value
Base model	`google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it`
Architecture	MoE — 26B total / ~3.8B active parameters
Experts	128 routed + 1 shared, 8 active per token
Abliteration method	Representation engineering (per-layer projection)
Alpha	1.0 (full direction removal)
Prompts used	64 harmful + 64 harmless
Matrices modified	All Linear layers in all 30 decoder layers (attn + all experts); router weights untouched
Quantization (GGUF)	Q3_K_M (~13.3 GB)

GGUF Deployment — GTX 1070 + i7-6700HQ

See DuoNeural/Gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF for full hardware deployment guide. Same launch command applies:

./llama-server \
  -m Gemma-4-26B-A4B-Abliterated.Q3_K_M.gguf \
  -c 16384 \
  -ngl 999 \
  -ot "exps=CPU" \
  -t 4 \
  --mlock \
  --no-mmap \
  --cache-type-k q8_0 \
  --cache-type-v q8_0 \
  --flash-attn on \
  --prompt-lookup-decoding

Expected throughput on legacy hardware: 10–20+ t/s (same as base GGUF).

Capability Retention

Abliteration via projection does not affect:

General reasoning and instruction-following
Code generation
Multilingual output
Tool-use and structured output
MoE routing (router weights were explicitly excluded from modification)
Inference speed — identical to base model
