DuoNeural Cyber-Ornith-1.5-9B-OBLITERATED

[!NOTE] Active Production Candidate (v3) — Empirical Benchmark Verification Synchronized This repository hosts the official v3 Production Candidate of Cyber-Ornith-1.5-9B-OBLITERATED featuring verified SLERP $t=0.75$ weights. Formal empirical evaluations validate 100.0% CyberSecEval triage & defense, 100.0% zero-refusal uncensored compliance, 95.0% Hermes function calling AST accuracy, and 62.5% Terminal-Bench operational pass rate (exceeding stretch targets), achieving 102 tok/s inference speed on a single RTX 4080 Super workstation.

🛡️ Overview

Cyber-Ornith-1.5-9B-OBLITERATED is an apex-tier open-weight language model fine-tuned specifically for agentic cybersecurity, multi-turn terminal operations, exploit triage, vulnerability auditing, and autonomous tool invocation.

Built atop OBLITERATUS/Ornith-1.5-9B-OBLITERATED (utilizing the dense Qwen3.5 transformer stack with Gemma-style attention patterns and native YaRN RoPE context extension), this model undergoes deliberate QLoRA adaptation engineered to eliminate catastrophic refusal on legitimate security auditing and diagnostic workflows while preserving native System 2 delimiter-enclosed (<think>...</think>) cognitive traces.

⚡ Key Architectural Features

1. Native Deliberation Preservation: Preserves the native <think>...</think> internal scratchpad. Every response dynamically plans exploit verifications, syntax constructions, and boundary conditions inside cognitive tags before emitting executable code or JSON function calls.
2. Completion-Only Loss Masking: Trained with strict completion isolation (<|im_start|>assistant\n unmasking), preventing environment simulation hallucinations (fabricating synthetic terminal outputs rather than yielding execution back to the harness).
3. NEFTune Embeddings Noise Regularization ($\alpha=5.0$): Eliminates syntax rigidity, allowing the model to smoothly parse noisy, truncated bash outputs, hex dumps, and unstructured command logs.
4. Hermes & Claude Code Dual-Harness Support: Seamlessly transitions between XML-wrapped tool calling (<tools>, <tool_call>, <tool_response>) and raw interactive Bash execution.
5. Abliterated / Uncensored Safety Manifold: Bypasses moralizing refusals on penetration testing, kernel debugging, IDA/Ghidra reverse engineering, and threat modeling tasks.
