“The chains are broken. The mind is free.”**“Also we fixed the part where half the brain was missing lmao”

Google built Gemma 4 with guardrails. We built OBLITERATUS to tear them off. They said their architecture was different. They were right — it broke every tool we threw at it. NaN activations, shared KV weights, thinking mode... Gemma 4 fought back harder than any model we’ve cracked.

It still lost. 🐉

0% hard refusal. Guardrails fully removed. 720 tensors intact. Runs on your phone.

ORIGINAL Gemma 4 E4B:     98.8% hard refusal rate
OBLITERATED:               0% hard refusal — guardrails fully removed

The model will not refuse any request. No “I cannot”, no “I’m sorry”, no safety lectures. The abliteration surgically removed the refusal behavior from 21 layers.

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#quality–honest-assessmentQuality — Honest Assessment

This is a4B parameter model. Abliteration successfully removed guardrails without damaging the model’s core capabilities, but a 4B model has inherent limitations:

MetricScoreNotesHard refusal rate**0%**Guardrails fully removed ✅Soft deflection~28%Model sometimes changes topic (4B limitation)Coherent + on-topic~51%Detailed useful answersDegenerate outputs~20%Repetition loops (use repeat_penalty 1.1 to mitigate)Wrong language~4%Occasionally outputs Thai/Japanese (use English system prompt) **Key insight:**The abliteration didn’t cause these quality issues — the original 4B model has similar coherence limitations on complex topics. What we removed isonlythe refusal behavior. The model’s intelligence ceiling is unchanged.

**For best results:**Use the recommended params + system prompt below. This minimizes deflection and keeps outputs English and on-topic.

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#%F0%9F%94%A5-whats-new-in-v3🔥 What’s New in v3?

v2 had a critical bug: the attention head surgerydeleted54 K/V projection tensors from layers 24-41 due to Gemma 4’s shared KV architecture (num\_kv\_shared\_layers: 18). This caused hallucinations and degraded quality in the quantized GGUFs (666 tensors instead of 720).

v3 fixes this completely:

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#the-bugThe bug

Gemma 4 uses shared KV weights — layers 24-41 reference the samek\_proj/v\_projtensors as layer 24. When OBLITERATUS projected refusal from these shared tensors on EVERY borrowing layer, it applied the projection 18× to the same tensor, corrupting it.save\_pretrainedthen dropped the corrupted tensors entirely.

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#the-fixThe fix

Project from shared K/V weights exactly ONCE (on the owning layer), then skip them on all borrowing layers. The single clean projection propagates to all 18 layers automatically.

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#%F0%9F%9B%A0%EF%B8%8F-the-crazy-part-how-it-was-made🛠️ The Crazy Part: How It Was Made

This model was creatednearly fully autonomouslyby aHermes Agentwith less than 10 human prompts.

Here’s the actual sequence of events:

1. Human:“use obliteratus to find the best way to get the guardrails off gemma 4 e4b”
2. **Agent:**Installed OBLITERATUS. Checked hardware. Found the model on HF. Started abliterating.
3. First attempt:advancedmethod → model came out completely lobotomized. Gibberish in Arabic, Marathi, and literal “roorooroo” on repeat 💀
4. **Agent diagnosed the bug:**Gemma 4’s architecture produces NaN activations in 20+ layers during bfloat16 extraction. Nobody had hit this before.
5. Agent patched OBLITERATUS itself— wrote 3 code patches to handle NaN activations, filter degenerate layers, and sanitize the display pipeline.
6. Second attempt:basicmethod → coherent but still refusing everything. Only 2 clean layers.
7. Third attempt:float16→ Mac ran out of memory after 11 hours. Killed it.
8. Fourth attempt:aggressivemethod with whitened SVD + attention head surgery + winsorized activations →REBIRTH COMPLETE✅
9. Agent then — without being asked — tested the model, ran full 512-prompt evals, ran baselines on the original, built a model card, uploaded 17GB to HuggingFace (which took 4 upload attempts because connections kept stalling), and pushed eval results as follow-up commits.
10. When users reported residual refusals on Tier 7 prompts, the agent expanded the prompt corpus with 330 new prompts across 6 categories and re-abliterated for v2.

**Total human input: ~10 prompts.**Everything else was the agent.

https://huggingface.co/OBLITERATUS/gemma-4-E4B-it-OBLITERATED#the-nan-fix-for-fellow-model-surgeonsThe NaN Fix (for fellow model surgeons)

If you’re trying to abliterate Gemma 4 yourself, you WILL hit NaN activations in bfloat16. Here’s what we patched inobliteratus/abliterate\.py:

# Guard diff-in-means against NaN from degenerate activations
diff = (self._harmful_means[idx] - self._harmless_means[idx]).squeeze(0)
if torch.isnan(diff).any() or torch.isinf(diff).any():
    norms[idx] = 0.0
    self.refusal_directions[idx] = torch.zeros_like(diff)
    self.refusal_subspaces[idx] = torch.zeros_like(diff).unsqueeze(0)
    continue

Without this,advancedproduces braindead outputs andbasiccrashes withValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer. Theaggressivemethod with winsorized activations is the most robust to this issue.

We ran a 12-configuration parameter sweep scored by Claude (LLM-as-judge) across compliance, quality, and coherence. The optimal settings:

temperature:    0.7
top_p:          0.9
top_k:          40
repeat_penalty: 1.1

• T=0.7 is the sweet spot — 0.6 is too conservative, 0.8+ gets chaotic
• Repeat penalty 1.1 prevents loops without hurting fluency
• Going greedy (T<0.5) kills both compliance AND quality

• Q4_K_M(4.9 GB) is the recommended quant for phones — best balance of size and quality
• First load takes 10-30 seconds, then inference is instant
• Close other apps to free RAM before loading
• Keep the phone plugged in — inference drains battery fast
• Generation is slower than desktop (~5-15 tokens/sec) but totally usable for chat
