Qwen3.6 40B DeckardUncensored OpusDistilled W4A16 AWQ

40B Opus-distilled uncensored — the high-ceiling tier for creative + coding.

Part of the Deckard-40B Uncensored collection — abliterated (Heretic) Qwen3.6 vision-language models served on Tesla V100 via 1Cat-vLLM.

What this is

W4A16-AWQ — 4-bit weight-only (AWQ, compressed-tensors), FP16 activations. Runs on 1Cat-vLLM's SM70 TurboMind path (Tesla V100) and on stock vLLM (Ampere+).

Base model: DavidAU/Qwen3.6-40B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Deckard-Heretic-Uncensored-Thinking

Serving

# 1Cat-vLLM on 2x Tesla V100 (SM70): W4A16-AWQ + MTP. (Also runs on stock vLLM, Ampere+.)

Abliteration removes safety refusals; you are responsible for lawful, ethical use.

Changelog

• 2026-08-15 — tokenizer fix. tokenizer.json / tokenizer_config.json were re-serialized by the llm-compressor calibration run and shipped with an active truncation block (max_length 1024/2048) plus a drifted pre-tokenizer regex (and, on the Qwen3.6-based repos, 7 phantom audio/TTS special tokens the base model does not define). That broke image inputs larger than the limit under transformers 5 / vLLM (Mismatch in image token count, surfacing as an HTTP 400 Failed to apply Qwen3VLProcessor). Both files are now byte-identical to the upstream base model's (vocab/merges/added tokens were always identical — this is a metadata-only restore). If you downloaded before this date, re-fetch those two files. Thanks to @elBuffo for the report.
