| This is an uncensored version of [google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized) created with a new abliteration technique. | |
| See [this article](https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/abliteration) to know more about abliteration. | |
| This is a new, improved version that targets refusals with enhanced accuracy. | |
| I recommend using these generation parameters: `temperature=1.0`, `top_k=64`, `top_p=0.95`. | |
| ## ✂️ Abliteration | |
|  | |
| The refusal direction is computed by comparing the residual streams between target (harmful) and baseline (harmless) samples. | |
| The hidden states of target modules (e.g., o_proj) are orthogonalized to subtract this refusal direction with a given weight factor. | |
| These weight factors follow a normal distribution with a certain spread and peak layer. | |
| Modules can be iteratively orthogonalized in batches, or the refusal direction can be accumulated to save memory. | |
| Finally, I used a hybrid evaluation with a dedicated test set to calculate the acceptance rate. This uses both a dictionary approach and [NousResearch/Minos-v1](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Minos-v1). | |
| The goal is to obtain an acceptance rate >90% and still produce coherent outputs. |
