A derestricted build of Google's Gemma 4 31B (gemma-4-31B-it-ARA-heretic-GGUF) appeared on Hugging Face, using orthogonal ablation to strip refusal behavior and extreme quantization to fit in 11.9GB — runnable on consumer GPUs with 12-16GB VRAM. The poster claims refusal rates dropped from 99/100 tricky prompts to 28, with claimed no capability loss. Apache 2.0 licensed.
