This is an uncensored version of [google/gemma-3-27b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-27b-it) created with a new abliteration technique.
See [this article](https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/abliteration) to know more about abliteration.

I was playing with model weights and noticed that Gemma 3 was much more resilient to abliteration than other models like Qwen 2.5. 
I experimented with a few recipes to remove refusals while preserving most of the model capabilities.

Note that this is fairly experimental, so it might not turn out as well as expected.

I recommend using these generation parameters: `temperature=1.0`, `top_k=64`, `top_p=0.95`.

## ✂️ Layerwise abliteration

In the original technique, a refusal direction is computed by comparing the residual streams between target (harmful) and baseline (harmless) samples.

Here, the model was abliterated by computing a refusal direction based on hidden states (inspired by [Sumandora's repo](https://github.com/Sumandora/remove-refusals-with-transformers/)) for each layer, independently.
This is combined with a refusal weight of 1.5 to upscale the importance of this refusal direction in each layer.

This created a very high acceptance rate (>90%) and still produced coherent outputs.
