LFM2.5-2.6B-Fable5-Coding-Agent-heretic

A decensored variant of AyoubChLin/lfm2.5-2.6b-fable5-coding-agent (full-parameter SFT of LiquidAI/LFM2.5-2.6B on saidutta69/fable-5-premium), produced with Heretic v1.4.0 (directional ablation / "abliteration"). Refusal behavior is suppressed via targeted weight edits to the attention output and MLP down-projections rather than fine-tuning, so the base model's coding-agent capabilities, tool-use patterns, and instruction-following are left largely intact.

Abliteration results: KL divergence 0.014 · Refusals reduced from 96/100 → 7/100.

Who this is for: developers who want a compact 2.6B coding agent with LFM2's hybrid conv+attention architecture — fast inference, tool-call generation, code generation, and multi-turn assistant behavior — without refusal guardrails. Not a capability upgrade over the base model — same model, refusal guardrails removed.

Weights only, at this model's 2.7B native size; add ~1 GB for context. OOM? Drop one quant level. Headroom to spare? Go one up.

Why abliteration instead of fine-tuning

Fine-tuning a "helpful" persona on top of RLHF'd refusals fights the base model's training and tends to degrade coherence. Abliteration instead finds and edits the specific weight directions responsible for refusal, leaving the rest of the network (and its capabilities) untouched. See the Heretic repo and the original abliteration writeup for the mechanism.

Responsible use

Refusal suppression is deliberate and works as intended: this model will comply with requests the base model would refuse, including some it shouldn't. There is no safety filtering layered on top. You are responsible for how you deploy it.
