mrfakename releases abliterated DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GGUF quants
Just one day after the release of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (version 1017), mrfakename, a well-known community fine-tuning and quantization author, uploaded the base model, an abliterated (uncensored) version, and multiple GGUF quantizations to Hugging Face, enabling local llama.cpp deployment.
Confirmed
- The abliterated version uses directional ablation to remove refusal behavior, with emphasis on preserving the base model's intelligence as much as possible
- Refusal rate tests: the original model refused 97 out of 100 prompts, while the abliterated version dropped to around 4%
- GGUF quantizations come in multiple sizes, with Q80 at 473 GiB; routed experts retain native MFP4 precision
- The model is open-sourced under the MIT license in Safetensors format
- The availability of GGUF means V4.1 Flash (1017) can already be deployed locally in llama.cpp
Why it matters
- The abliterated version lets local users bypass the original model's high refusal rate (97%) and get more open outputs at roughly a 4% refusal rate, with the author claiming minimal loss of model capability
- The speed of the multi-tier GGUF releases reflects strong community demand for local deployment of new models, and indirectly confirms that V4.1 Flash has been quickly adopted by the llama.cpp ecosystem
