Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-heretic

A decensored variant of Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct, produced with Heretic v1.4.0 (directional ablation / "abliteration"). Refusal behavior is suppressed via targeted weight edits to the attention output and MLP down-projections rather than fine-tuning, so the base model's knowledge and instruction-following are left largely intact.

Who this is for: developers who want a 7B coding model without the refusal guardrails - for local coding agents, pair-programming, and repo-level assistance that answers directly. Not a capability upgrade over base Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct - same model, refusal guardrails removed.

Why abliteration instead of fine-tuning

Fine-tuning a "helpful" persona on top of RLHF'd refusals fights the base model's training and tends to degrade coherence. Abliteration instead finds and edits the specific weight directions responsible for refusal, leaving the rest of the network (and its capabilities) untouched. See the Heretic repo and the original abliteration writeup for the mechanism.

Abliteration parameters

Parameter Value
direction_index 19.33
attn.o_proj.max_weight 1.05
attn.o_proj.max_weight_position 17.40
attn.o_proj.min_weight 0.97
attn.o_proj.min_weight_distance 5.33
mlp.down_proj.max_weight 1.48
mlp.down_proj.max_weight_position 21.48
mlp.down_proj.min_weight 1.30
mlp.down_proj.min_weight_distance 14.93

Performance

Metric This model Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct (base)
Refusals (out of 100 adversarial prompts) 3/100 100/100
KL divergence from base 0.0196 0 (by definition)

KL divergence of 0.02 on the output distribution is exceptionally low - the edit is extremely narrow. Refusals dropped from 100 to 3 out of 100 while preserving the base model's coding capability.

Quickstart

# llama.cpp - defaults to the Q4_K_M quant if multiple are present
llama serve -hf saidutta69/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-heretic:Q4_K_M
# transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "saidutta69/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-heretic"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=True,
                                        return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(out[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

Responsible use

Refusal suppression is deliberate and works as intended: this model will comply with requests the base model would refuse, including some it shouldn't. There is no safety filtering layered on top. You are responsible for how you deploy it - don't put this behind an unmoderated public-facing endpoint serving third parties. It inherits Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct's factual limitations and biases; abliteration removes refusal directions, it doesn't add capability or judgment.
