Qwen3.5-0.8B-Unredacted-MAX

Qwen3.5-0.8B-Unredacted-MAX is an unredacted evolution built on top of Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B. This model applies advanced refusal direction analysis and abliterated training strategies to reduce internal refusal behaviors while preserving the reasoning and instruction-following strengths of the original architecture. The result is a compact yet capable 0.8B parameter language model optimized for detailed responses and improved instruction adherence.

This model is materialized for research and learning purposes only. The model has reduced internal refusal behaviors, and any content generated by it is used at the user’s own risk.

Quick Start with Transformers

pip install transformers==5.3.0 (or) git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

from transformers import Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
import torch

model = Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "prithivMLmods/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Unredacted-MAX",
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "prithivMLmods/Qwen3.5-0.8B-Unredacted-MAX"
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "Explain how transformer models work in simple terms."}
        ],
    }
]

text = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)

inputs = processor(
    text=[text],
    padding=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to("cuda")

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)

generated_ids_trimmed = [
    out_ids[len(in_ids):] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

output_text = processor.batch_decode(
    generated_ids_trimmed,
    skip_special_tokens=True,
    clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)

print(output_text)

Intended Use

• Alignment & Refusal Research: Studying refusal behaviors and the impact of activation-level modifications.
• Red-Teaming Experiments: Evaluating robustness of small language models across edge-case prompts.
• Lightweight AI Applications: Deploying capable instruction models on limited hardware.
• Research Prototyping: Rapid experimentation with compact transformer architectures.

Limitations & Risks

Important Note: This model intentionally reduces built-in refusal mechanisms.

• Sensitive Output Possibility: The model may produce controversial or explicit content depending on prompts.
• User Responsibility: Outputs should be used responsibly and within legal and ethical boundaries.
• Small Model Constraints: As a 0.8B parameter model, it may have reduced reasoning depth compared to larger architectures.
