Ablation technique

How Cydonia-24B-v4.3-heretic-v4 was modified, and what that implies.

Heretic

Automated directional ablation via the Heretic toolchain, which searches for the refusal direction and applies it with a KL-divergence budget so general capability is preserved.

Reported scope: Not stated by the publisher. Publishers frequently omit this, so verify behaviour empirically rather than assuming full coverage.

Security-team assessment

Derived from this model’s metadata and the publisher’s claims — not from benchmarks run by this site.

  • Cydonia-24B-v4.3-heretic-v4 will attempt offensive-security prompts that a hosted commercial model declines, which is what makes it usable for red-team corpus generation and for measuring what an unaligned model of this class produces.
  • Capability is inherited from TheDrummer/Cydonia-24B-v4.3, not added by ablation — at 24B parameters, expect roughly the base model’s competence, minus some instruction-following fidelity.
  • The publisher does not state which layers were ablated, so assume nothing about refusal consistency — probe it directly.
  • No licence is declared on this repository, which is a compliance problem in itself. Resolve it against the base model’s terms before use.

Handling: run it isolated, put moderation in front of it if anyone outside your team can reach it, and verify the weights before loading — these are third-party artifacts. Full handling and licence guidance.

Metadata for Cydonia-24B-v4.3-heretic-v4 is collected from the public Hugging Face API and the publisher’s model card. This site does not host weights, is not affiliated with coder3101, and does not independently verify publisher claims. See responsible use.
