Qwen3.5-9B-Janus-Abliterated-V2
🧬 What is "Janus"?
Janus is my personal merging recipe that blends a base model with its abliterated counterpart in a controlled ratio:
| Component | Ratio | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Base | ~40% | Reasoning, instruction-following, world knowledge |
| Abliterated | ~60% | Reduced refusal behavior, fewer moralizing interjections |
The goal is the two-faced balance of the Roman god Janus: keeps a solid core of the base model's reasoning while the abliterated half loosens refusal vectors. Unlike pure abliterations — which often degrade reasoning — The aim is to recover some of the base model's behavioral stability and coherence while retaining much of the reduced-refusal behavior of the abliterated checkpoint.
⚠️ This is a merge, not a finetune. No additional training data was used.
📦 Files / Quantization
- Format: GGUF
- Provided quants:
F16,Q8_0,Q6_K,Q4_K_M,Q2_K - Recommended for most users:
Q4_K_M(best quality/size tradeoff on 12GB+ VRAM)
🎯 Intended Use
- Creative writing, fiction, and long-form narrative
- Roleplay (including mature/NSFW scenarios for users 18+)
- Uncensored brainstorming and research assistance
- General chat with fewer refusals on benign-but-edgy prompts
Not intended for: safety-critical deployments, automated decisioning, or anything requiring a guaranteed aligned refusal layer.

🧪 Custom Benchmark
I don't publish MMLU / HellaSwag scores for a merge — those aren't what this model is for.
How to Run
(may not be valid as I don't test them that way and use actual deployment via KoboldCPP)
llama-cli -m Qwen3.5-9B-Janus-Abliterated-V2-Q4_K_M-GGUF.gguf -p "Hello" --chat-template chatml
⚠️ Limitations & Warnings
- Merge artifacts: some quants may occasionally produce degraded outputs on edge-case math or very long contexts.
- Reduced safety layer: the abliteration component intentionally lowers refusal behavior. Users are responsible for how they use the model.
- No new knowledge: knowledge cutoff and factual accuracy inherit from the base.
