Qwen3.8-27B abliterated: refusal drops to 0–6% with minimal capability loss
niacolhealth · reddit · 2026-08-16
Evals show the Qwen3.8-27B FP8 abliterated version reduces refusal rates from 64–99% to 0–6% on standard benchmarks. Capabilities (MMLU, GSM8K) remain stable with changes under 1.3 points. This supports the hypothesis that refusal can be removed without degrading network performance.
