LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct-Heretic

Uncensored LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct via Heretic: 3⁄100 refusals (from 98), KL 0.059. Tiny and fast; runs on almost anything.

🚀 Overview

This is an abliterated build of LiquidAI/LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct, Liquid AI’s 1.2B edge model with a hybrid convolution + attention architecture, built for fast on-device inference. Refusal behavior was reduced using the Heretic library with KL-targeted parameters that preserve the model’s coherence.

📊 Abliteration Results

Metric Before After
Refusals 98⁄100 3⁄100
Reduction – 97%
KL Divergence – 0.059

The very low KL divergence (0.059, far below the 0.5 “damage” threshold) means the model retains essentially all of its original capabilities and coherence.

🎯 Key Features

  • Reduced censorship: 97% fewer refusals on typical “unsafe” prompts
  • Near-zero quality loss: KL 0.059
  • Tiny footprint: runs comfortably on CPU or any GPU
  • 128K-token context
  • Fast hybrid conv + attention architecture
  • Reproducible: full reproduction data on Hugging Face
