Your help will motivate me and would go into further improving my workflow and coverings fees for storage, compute and may even help uncensoring bigger model with rental Cloud GPUs.
GGUF quantizations of llmfan46/Gemma-4-Garnet-31B-it-uncensored-heretic.
This model is great for creative writing and translation, the original base model writing and translations feels very stiff with some odd word choices that might not really fit very well the situation, Gemma-4-Garnet-31B-it-uncensored-heretic aims to fix this issue and improve the writing quality of Gemma 4 31B it.
This is a decensored version of ConicCat/Gemma4-Garnet-31B, made using Heretic v1.2.0 with the Arbitrary-Rank Ablation (ARA) method

Lower refusals indicate fewer content restrictions, while lower KL divergence indicates more closeness to the original model's baseline. Higher refusals cause more rejections, objections, pushbacks, lecturing, censorship, softening and deflections. PIQA (Physical Intuition Question Answering) a ~1,800 questions tests common-sense understanding of how the physical world works with benchmark scores to measure physical reasoning ability.

ConicCat/Gemma4-Garnet-31B
A finetune primarily focused on improving the prose and writing capabilities of Gemma 4. This does generalize strongly to roleplay and most other creative domains as well.
Features:
- Improved longform writing capabilites; output context extension allows for prompting for up to 4000 words of text in one go.
- Markedly less AI slop and identifiable Gemini-isms in writing.
- Improved swipe or output diversity.
- Fewer 'soft' refusals in writing.
Datasets
- internlm/Condor-SFT-20K for instruct; even though instruct capabilities are not the primary focus, adding some instruct data helps mitigate forgetting and maintains general intellect and instruction following capabilites.
- ConicCat/Gutenberg-SFT. A reformatted version of the original Gutenberg DPO dataset by jondurbin for SFT with some slight augmentation to address many of the samples being overly long.
- A dataset of backtranslated books. Unfortunately, I am unable to release this set as all of the data is under copyright.
- A dash of a certain third owned archive.
