Huihui Qwen3.8 27B abliterated GGUF

Huihui Qwen3.8 27B abliterated GGUF is a proof-of-concept, uncensored GGUF conversion of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B created by abliteration, distributed by huihui-ai under apache-2.0. The repository offers several GGUF series derived from different base GGUF sources, including bf16, UD, UD-DW, GSQ-RCO, and Ternary variants. Abliteration is applied to selected layer ranges, with differences between updates: the latest update ablates layers 17 to 52 (0-based indexing), while update 4 and later update 5/6 series reportedly ablate only layers 22 to 52. The base model card lists pipeline_tag image-text-to-text and notes that MTP and visual components were not modified. The ternary hybrid-attention files require the PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp fork and will not run with stock llama.cpp. Some weights below Q8_0 were converted to Q8_0 (filenames K_L), Q8_0 weights were changed to BF16 (Q8_0_L), and the resulting file sizes may differ from the original GGUF. The model card labels this as a test/validation and a crude proof-of-concept implementation.

Qwen3.8 27B GGUF

Qwen3.8-27B GGUF is a GGUF-quantized version of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, produced with ByteShape's ShapeLearn method. The published model card lists an Apache-2.0 license, image-text-to-text pipeline, the gguf tag, and base model Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B. ShapeLearn is described as learning per-tensor datatypes intended to maintain quality at low bitlengths, and this release is said to replace earlier ShapeLearn-Lite quantizations. The card states models went through a multi-benchmark evaluation suite covering math, coding, general knowledge, instruction following, and agentic tool use in thinking and instruct modes against a BF16 baseline. It also describes vision capability, a bundled MTP head, llama.cpp usage, speculative decoding options, a build requirement note for DFlash 2, GPU-optimized quantizations, quality-vs-TPS charts on RTX 5090 with links to additional plots, and a model table beginning with GPU-1 IQ2_XXS at 2.5 bits/weight.
