Ablation technique

How DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017-heretic 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.

From the publisher’s model card

“deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 with a directional ablation of its refusal behaviour. It is stored in the model's native format (FP8 weights, FP4 routed experts, 510 GB), with the same layout and loading as the base model. This is not an official DeepSeek release.”

Running it

Commands are templates — confirm the exact repository and quant file before use.

llama.cpp / GGUF
hf download pqhaz/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017-heretic-GGUF --local-dir ./deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017-heretic
llama-cli -m ./deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017-heretic/<file>.gguf -p "..."
Transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

repo = "pqhaz/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017-heretic"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    repo, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto"
)

Security-team assessment

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

  • DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017-heretic 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.
  • The publisher does not state which layers were ablated, so assume nothing about refusal consistency — probe it directly.
  • Declared licence is mit, but the terms that bind you are deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017’s — a re-release cannot grant more than its parent.

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 DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017-heretic is collected from the public Hugging Face API and the publisher’s model card. This site does not host weights, is not affiliated with pqhaz, and does not independently verify publisher claims. See responsible use.
