Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Abliterated-Heretic-GGUF
This is a GGUF release of an abliterated version of Qwen's Qwen3.6-35B-A3B.
By applying Heretic on the Qwen 3.6 sparse-MoE text stack, the base refusal behavior was removed at the weight level. The result keeps Qwen3.6-35B-A3B's multimodal architecture and general capability profile, while no longer defaulting to the original refusal pattern.

Methodology & Model Notes
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is a 35.95B sparse MoE vision-language model with roughly 3B active parameters per token, 40 text layers, 256 routed experts, and 8 active experts per token.
This release was produced with a Heretic MPOA/SOMA-style sibling-transfer run, finalized with a split-MoE input-side intervention on the accepted candidate.
The accepted candidate scored Refusals: 1/25 on the official 25-prompt marker suite used for the MiniMax M2.7 abliterated run.
The resulting abliterated checkpoint was exported to BF16 and then converted to GGUF for llama.cpp-compatible deployment.
