- Base Model: huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3.8-27B-abliterated (Abliterated directional un-censoring of Alibaba's Qwen3.8-27B)
- Parameters: 27B total dense hybrid
- Architecture: 64 main hybrid layers (48 Gated DeltaNet SSM linear attention layers + 16 periodic full quadratic attention layers), plus an integrated MTP head at
blk.64.*
- Context Length: 262,144 tokens (native 256K)
- Quantization Standard: VAL-APEX-I NanoPlus calibrated against official Qwen3.8-27B importance matrix (
imatrix)
- Abliteration Status: True directional weight orthogonalization removing refusal vectors while maintaining full analytical capability.
3. Native Context & Runtime Memory
The model supports a native context window of 262,144 tokens. Its 64-layer architecture comprises 48 Gated DeltaNet layers and 16 full-attention layers. Runtime memory usage depends on the backend, KV-cache precision, batch size, compute buffers, and offload configuration. Check the runtime memory allocation for your chosen settings.

6. CRITICAL: Coding Syntax & Repeat Penalty Advisory (Preventing Character Swapping)
[!IMPORTANT]
PREVENTING SYNTAX & TOKEN SWAPPING IN CODE WORKFLOWS
In programming code, brackets ({, }), assignment operators (=), and indentation whitespace repeat constantly across multi-line structures.
Common Issue: Many local frontends (such as LM Studio defaults, Ollama, or web interfaces) ship with repeat_penalty set to 1.1 or 1.15. While this prevents loops in creative prose, applying repeat penalties to code artificially penalizes necessary syntax tokens. When the logit of { drops, the model is forced to emit the next closest mathematical token (= or [), resulting in character swapping or dropped/doubled whitespace.
Eliminating Character Swapping:
1. Disable Repeat Penalties (Required for Code):
- repeat_penalty: 1.0 (strictly disabled)
- presence_penalty: 0.0
- frequency_penalty: 0.0
2. Calibrate Samplers:
- temperature: 0.60 (or 0.20 - 0.30 for strict, deterministic code syntax)
- min_p: 0.05 (prunes low-probability noise tokens effectively)
- top_p: 0.95
- top_k: 20
3. Native Jinja Formatting: Always pass the --jinja flag so the tokenizer handles leading-space BPE tokens cleanly.
7. Hardened Agentic Chat Template & Reasoning Effort
[!TIP]
MULTI-LEVEL REASONING EFFORT CONTROL
This model supports multi-level reasoning effort control via the Jinja template:
- low / minimal: Keeps internal thinking concise and focused strictly on immediate execution steps to minimize latency in automated loops.
- medium (default): Balanced, structured reasoning process with standard analytical depth.
- high / xhigh: Guides the model to formulate a clear implementation plan upfront before generating response, avoiding circular self-doubt loops.
- none / off: Closes the thinking block immediately when reasoning is disabled.
