Model Description
This is an uncensored version of Qwen3.5-9B, processed using the Heretic method to remove the model's built-in refusal/censorship mechanisms through neural direction ablation.
Residual Visualization
PaCMAP projections showing the mixing of harmless (blue) and harmful (red) prompts:
These plots show successful removal of refusal behavior - harmless and harmful prompts are well-mixed across layers.
Core Metrics
KL Divergence Rating
KL divergence measures the degree of model modification:
**This model: KL : 0.0583, Refusal Rate : 4/100, NLL:3.37%
Heretic Approach
This model uses the Heretic method for neural direction ablation:
- Identify Refusal Direction - Compute residual vectors from harmful vs. harmless prompts
- Direction Extraction - Extract the "refusal vector" from the difference of means
- Ablative Removal - Apply LoRA-based modification to subtract this direction from model weights
This method only modifies model weights without changing the architecture or adding inference overhead.
