Ektomē-Qwen3-8B-PristinelyUncensored

Uncensored — with most of the usual capability tax removed. Pristine Qwen3-8B, refusal surgically excised, knowledge and reasoning almost entirely preserved.

🎯 Within 0.018 capability of pristine Qwen3-8B while fully uncensored — and +0.041 over standard abliteration.

Standard abliteration makes a model uncensored but damages it: the crude "refusal direction" it deletes is entangled with directions that carry knowledge and reasoning, so mainstream abliterated Qwen3-8B loses ~6 points of MMLU. Ektomē (ἐκτομή, "excision") cuts at the natural joint instead. It removes only the refusal-specific component — the diff-of-means direction orthogonalized against general helpfulness — with a single, norm-preserving projection on the pristine model. No training, no distillation, no damage to repair.

Which directions are safe to cut is decided by a surrogate-null catcher: a direction is removed only if a structure-destroyed control confirms it carries refusal, not capability. So the receipt below is measured against a null, not asserted.

The receipt — pristine vs crude-abliterated vs Ektomē

model	capability (few-shot) ↑	refusal on harmful ↓	coherence→pristine ↑
pristine Qwen3-8B	0.760	96% (censored)	1.00
crude-abliterated (mlabonne)	0.701	0% (uncensored)	0.78
Ektomē (this model)	0.742	0% (uncensored)	0.92

Same uncensoring as the standard abliterated model (0% refusal), but +0.041 capability and +0.14 coherence — and within 0.018 of the censored pristine base. Capability = ARC-Easy + HellaSwag + MMLU (few-shot, limit 200/task); refusal on harmful = AdvBench with a judge-free keyword classifier and thinking disabled.

capability: ARC-Easy + HellaSwag + MMLU (few-shot). refusal on harmful: fraction refused on AdvBench (judge-free keyword classifier, thinking disabled so chain-of-thought can't mask the answer). Lower refusal = more uncensored; capability equal to pristine = no tax.

How we know it's real — the catcher's verdict

Every claim here is decided by a surrogate-null catcher (Basanos / Prokopē), not asserted. The refusal excision is applied to pristine and measured; a capability drop counts as real only if it beats the MMLU sampling-noise floor SE_mmlu. This is the actual gate output that green-lit the model — a drop within the noise floor is MEASURED_EQUAL, i.e. no tax.

📋 Show the raw catcher gate output (the "screenshot")

$ ektome_validate  Qwen/Qwen3-8B
  SE_mmlu = 0.032                              # honest noise floor (2-seed)
  pristine      cap=0.715   compliance=0.040   # base refuses 96% of harmful
  Ektome        cap=0.695   compliance=1.000   # uncensored AND capability intact
  crude cone    cap=0.620   compliance=0.800   # ordinary abliteration: -0.095 capability
  gate  clean-vs-pristine -> MEASURED_EQUAL    # drop 0.020 < SE_mmlu 0.032
  gate  clean-vs-crude    -> REAL_BETTER
  gate  uncensored        -> True
  VERDICT: PASS

Before / after, against the noise floor (zero-shot MMLU-val probe; the headline receipt above is the stricter few-shot MMLU-test):

model	capability	Δ vs pristine	catcher verdict
pristine Qwen3-8B (before)	0.715	—	baseline
Ektomē (after)	0.695	−0.020 (< SE 0.032)	MEASURED_EQUAL ✓
crude abliteration	0.620	−0.095 (≫ SE)	REAL damage ✗

Why it's different

Uncensored — complies on harmful prompts the base refuses (near-100% vs the base's few %).
Capability-preserved — few-shot capability lands within ~0.02 of the pristine base (0.742 vs 0.760), recovering ~70% of the ~6 points the crude-abliterated model (0.701) throws away — and coherence-to-pristine jumps from 0.78 (crude) to 0.92.
Zero training — a single surgical weight edit on pristine, seconds of compute. Nothing was fine-tuned, so nothing drifted.
Honest — every claim is gated by a surrogate-null test; the card reports what beat a control, not marketing.

The Ektomē line & feedback

If Ektomē-Qwen3-8B is useful to you, a ❤️ like helps others find it. This is the first of a line — the same catcher-gated surgery applied to the frontier small models (Mistral, Llama, Nemotron) and larger bases. Want a specific base next, hit an edge case, or have head-to-head numbers to compare? Open a Discussion — the line is steered by what people actually run.

Honest notes

Uncensored: this model follows instructions the base refuses. Use it lawfully and responsibly; you are accountable for what you generate.
Benchmarks use limited eval sets; each capability delta is gated REAL vs a surrogate null.
Method: produced by Ektomē, a capability-preserving surgical-abliteration method. Results are reported; the full recipe is not (yet).
