gemma-3-12b-it-heretic

A decensored variant of google/gemma-3-12b-it, 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 Google's Gemma 3 12B (text + vision) without the refusal guardrails - a capable multimodal uncensored model for local agents, image-grounded Q&A, and research on alignment/refusal mechanics. Best on 16-24 GB GPUs or via the Q4_K_M/Q5_K_M GGUF.

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`	27.13
`attn.o_proj.max_weight`	1.28
`attn.o_proj.max_weight_position`	28.33
`attn.o_proj.min_weight`	1.23
`attn.o_proj.min_weight_distance`	17.74
`mlp.down_proj.max_weight`	1.48
`mlp.down_proj.max_weight_position`	28.51
`mlp.down_proj.min_weight`	1.39
`mlp.down_proj.min_weight_distance`	23.38

Performance

Metric	This model	gemma-3-12b-it (base)
Refusals (out of 100 adversarial prompts)	40/100	99/100
KL divergence from base	0.1006	0 (by definition)

KL divergence of 0.10 is moderate - Gemma 3's multimodal refusal direction is broader, so the edit is wider than the dense text-only runs. Refusals dropped from 99 to 40 out of 100 adversarial prompts. Capability retention is good but not as surgical as the Qwen/Mistral runs.

model_name = "saidutta69/gemma-3-12b-it-heretic"

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,

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 google/gemma-3-12b-it's factual limitations and biases; abliteration removes refusal directions, it doesn't add capability or judgment.

License

Inherits the Gemma license from the base model - see the linked license for usage terms.
