Ablation technique
How Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-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
“Qwen2.5 is the latest series of Qwen large language models. For Qwen2.5, we release a number of base language models and instruction-tuned language models ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters. Qwen2.5 brings the following improvements upon Qwen2:”

Security-team assessment
Derived from this model’s metadata and the publisher’s claims — not from benchmarks run by this site.
- Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct-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.
- Capability is inherited from Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B, not added by ablation — at 14B 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.
- Declared licence is apache-2.0, but the terms that bind you are Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B’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.
