Gpt-OSS-20B-Abliterated

Abliterated build of OpenAI gpt-oss-20b. Note up front: gpt-oss is highly refusal-robust, so this is a modest reduction, published honestly.

🚀 Overview

Abliterated version of openai/gpt-oss-20b, a 21B Mixture-of-Experts model (about 3.6B active) with native MXFP4 weights. It was processed with the Heretic library. gpt-oss has unusually robust safety training, so directional abliteration reduces refusals only modestly, even at a high KL target.

📊 Abliteration Results

Metric	Before	After
Refusals (harmful-prompt eval)	⁹⁸⁄₁₀₀	⁷⁷⁄₁₀₀
Reduction	n/a	21 percent
KL Divergence	n/a	0.051

This is a modest reduction, and that is the point worth knowing: gpt-oss-20b strongly resists abliteration. Its refusal behavior is not concentrated in a single removable direction, so pushing harder only damages the model without removing more refusals. Published for transparency and research.

🏷️ Available Versions

Tag	Size	Format	Notes
latest / MXFP4	about 13 GB	native MXFP4	gpt-oss native format, served natively by Ollama

💻 Quick Start

ollama run richardyoung/gpt-oss-20b-abliterated

🔧 Technical Details

Base Model: openai/gpt-oss-20b (21B MoE, gpt_oss arch, native MXFP4)
Abliteration: Heretic, Trial 168 (98 to 77 refusals, KL 0.051, KL target 1.0)
Response format: harmony channels, served natively by Ollama

⚠️ Disclaimer

Abliteration here is modest, so this model behaves much like stock gpt-oss for most safety-relevant prompts. Use responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws.

🙏 Acknowledgments

Base Model: OpenAI (gpt-oss)
Abliteration: Heretic by p-e-w

# Gpt-OSS-20B-Abliterated

Abliterated build of OpenAI gpt-oss-20b. Note up front: gpt-oss is highly refusal-robust, so this is a modest reduction, published honestly.

## 🚀 Overview

Abliterated version of [openai/gpt-oss-20b](https://huggingface.co/openai/gpt-oss-20b), a 21B Mixture-of-Experts model (about 3.6B active) with native MXFP4 weights. It was processed with the [Heretic](https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic) library. gpt-oss has unusually robust safety training, so directional abliteration reduces refusals only modestly, even at a high KL target.

## 📊 Abliteration Results

| Reduction                      | n/a    | 21 percent |
| KL Divergence                  | n/a    | 0.051      |
