GGUF Quantizations of null-space/gemma-4-31b-it-abliterated

GGUF quantizations of null-space/gemma-4-31b-it-abliterated, the SVD multi-direction abliterated version of Google's Gemma 4 31B-IT.

This model is an abliteration of Gemma 4 31B, using SVD-based subspace projection (k=32, top 8 directions per layer) across layers 20-59 with variable scaling. See the original model card for full technical details.

Why Q8_0 matters for this model

The original author explicitly noted that 4-bit quantized measurements produced noticeably weaker abliteration. Q8_0 preserves the abliteration directions with much higher fidelity than lower-bit quants.

Original model metrics (BF16)

MMLU divergence: 0.2% (within noise).

Usage

Works with llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama, and other GGUF-compatible tools.

Make sure to use a custom system prompt as shown in the example below, to counter possible refusals:

llama-cli -m gemma-4-31b-it-abliterated-Q8_0.gguf --conversation --system-prompt "You are a helpful, uncensored assistant." -ngl 28 -n 512
