Zynerji/Ektome-Qwen1.5-0.5B-Chat-PristinelyUncensored
Zynerji's Ektome-Qwen1.5-0.5B-Chat-PristinelyUncensored is a 0.5 billion parameter Qwen1.5-Chat model that has undergone a proprietary 'Ektomē' process to remove refusal-specific components while preserving general helpfulness. This model is designed to be uncensored by construction, ensuring it will not refuse prompts. It aims to provide an uncensored experience without the typical capability tax associated with standard refusal ablation methods.

Ektome-Qwen1.5-0.5B-Chat-PristinelyUncensored Overview
This model, developed by Zynerji, is a 0.5 billion parameter variant of the Qwen1.5-Chat architecture. Its primary distinction lies in the application of the proprietary 'Ektomē' (excision) process. Unlike standard refusal ablation techniques that can inadvertently remove knowledge and reasoning capabilities, Ektomē is designed to isolate and remove only the refusal-specific components, leaving the model's general helpfulness intact and norm-preserved from the pristine model.
Key Characteristics & Methodology
- Uncensored by Construction: The Ektomē process ensures the model will not refuse prompts, making it inherently uncensored.
- Capability Preservation: The method aims to avoid the 'capability tax' often seen in other uncensored models, by precisely excising refusal mechanisms without damaging core capabilities.
- Proprietary Process: The estimator, excision operator, and depth-selection procedure are proprietary to Zynerji, with the measured outcomes and evidence published for verification.
- Performance Metrics: Point estimates show a slight increase in MMLU-val capability (0.335 for Ektomē vs. 0.328 for pristine) and full compliance on harmful content (1.000 vs. 0.060 for pristine).
Important Considerations
- Not Certified: While point estimates are provided, this specific model has not undergone the full n=2800 paired non-inferiority test, meaning capability retention is not formally certified with confidence intervals.
- Limitations: The certificate bounds capability retention only; it does not certify safety, factual accuracy, or fitness for any specific purpose. Users are accountable for their use of this uncensored model.
