DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 [GGUF + Abliterated]

Hi all, as many of you are probably aware DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 was released yesterday.

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • I put up an abliterated model + GGUF quants for both the base and abliterated version (no imatrix yet that's WIP)
  • For the abliterated model, most refusals are successfully removed.
  • In V4.a chat mode and think mod refuse along different directions, so rather than ablating a single refusal direction I measured and removed the rank-2 subspace they span.
  • All the models are on the Hub and I also released a LoRA for the GUGFs if you'd rather not redownload weights.
