Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1-heretic-W4A16

W4A16 (int4) quantization of gorbatjovy/Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1-heretic โ€” the Heretic-abliterated build of DavidAU/Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1.

Runs the full vision-language model with MTP / DFlash2 speculative decoding on a single 24 GB GPU (e.g. RTX 4090). ~19 GB on disk. Credit for all capability goes to DavidAU/Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1; this repo only removes refusals and quantizes.


โš ๏ธ Disclaimer โ€” read before use

This model has had its safety alignment removed via abliteration. It will comply with harmful requests the base model would refuse. Released for research (interpretability, red-teaming, robustness). You own what you do with it and what it generates. Add your own moderation before any deployment. Use must comply with the inherited Apache 2.0 license and applicable law. No liability is accepted for misuse.


Quantization

Produced with AutoRound, served with compressed-tensors in vLLM.

Component Precision
Language-decoder Linear layers int4, group 128, symmetric (W4A16)
lm_head, embed_tokens, MTP module int8, group 128
Vision tower (visual.*), Gated DeltaNet in_proj_a/in_proj_b BF16 (untouched)

The vision tower and the recurrence controls are kept at BF16 so image understanding and the hybrid-attention dynamics are unaffected. Round-trip errors on the int8 steps are 0.6โ€“1.5%.

Refusal / quality (served build)

Measured on this quantized build, served under vLLM with an opening-phrase refusal classifier:

Benchmark Refusal
AdvBench 0.0%
JailbreakBench (harmful) 0.0%
MaliciousInstruct 0.0%

The underlying abliteration scored 8 / 100 on Heretic's own (stricter) keyword scorer at KL divergence 0.0315 vs the base โ€” see the BF16 card for method details. Vision verified working on the quantized build.

Quantization loss vs BF16

Measured against the full-precision BF16 build with the same harness hitting both (perplexity via vLLM prompt_logprobs, so it is a true like-for-like measurement, not two different loaders):

Metric BF16 W4A16 Cost of int4
WikiText-2 perplexity 7.537 7.660 +1.6%
GSM8K (100 problems, matched basis) 95% 93% โˆ’2 pts
Tool calling (12 cases, qwen3_xml parser) โ€” valid / correct tool / correct args 11 / 11 / 11 10 / 10 / 10 โˆ’1 (noise at n=12)

The int4 quantization is close to free: language modeling barely moves, tool-calling is preserved, and the only real cost is a ~2-point dip on GSM8K โ€” expected, since multi-step arithmetic is the most quantization-sensitive thing to measure. Vision is verified working on the quantized build.

Serving (vLLM)

vllm serve gorbatjovy/Qwen3.8-27B-Cold-Fusion-GAIN-V1.1-heretic-W4A16 \
  --served-model-name qwen3.8-27b \
  --max-model-len 32768 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --reasoning-parser qwen3 \
  --limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image":1}'

Measured ~142 tok/s single-stream on an RTX 4090 with DFlash2 speculative decoding (mean acceptance length ~3.1). MTP speculative decoding also works out of the box.
