Holo4-27B โ€” Abliterated, GSQ-RCO-style GGUF

Per-tensor mixed-precision GGUF builds of the best-fidelity public uncensor of Holo4-27B, made for llama.cpp.

What this model is

Hcompany/Holo4-27B is a 27B vision-language model for Computer Use โ€” the strongest Holo4, at OSWorld 85.2% at $0.08/task and OSWorld 2.0 61.7% at $1.22/task. Those are vendor BF16 numbers, not measurements of these quants.

The vendor calls the architecture "Qwen3.8 dense" (built on Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B) โ€” "dense" means no routed experts, not a plain transformer. It is a hybrid: 64 blocks, 16 with full attention and 48 with linear attention (GDN: attn_qkv, attn_gate, ssm_out, ssm_conv1d, ssm_alpha/beta), dense MLPs everywhere (ffn_gate/up/down, 17,408 hidden), 248,320-token vocab, 262,144-token context.

License is non-commercial CC BY-NC 4.0 โ€” the base Qwen3.8-27B is Apache-2.0 and both licenses ship alongside. Fine to run locally; not commercially servable.

The ablation ("uncensor")

No Heretic pass exists for this architecture โ€” Heretic's activation-based refusal-direction search has not been run on Qwen3.8-hybrid weights as of writing. The uncensor used here is timteh673/Holo4-27B-Abliterix, a directional ablation (abliteration: projecting the refusal direction out of activations), published at BF16 with ~54 GB of safetensors.

quant/mtp-Holo4-27B-Abliterix-GSQ-RCO-Q8_0.gguf 441 MiB โ€” MTP draft head (Qwen3.8-27B base) for speculative decoding

Only the final quantized builds and the MTP draft head are hosted here. The intermediate Q6_K source, the importance matrix, and the vision projector are linked below instead of being mirrored in this repository.

Source and provenance

Hcompany BF16 master
   โ†’ timteh673/Holo4-27B-Abliterix (BF16 safetensors, no quant loss)
   โ†’ BF16 GGUF conversion (2.3 / 2.5 tiers, no intermediate quantization)
   โ†’ mradermacher i1 Q6_K quant (21,049 MiB, 6.57 bpw; 3.0 / 3.5 tiers)

The 2.3 / 2.5 bpw tiers are first-generation builds from the BF16 uncensor master. The 3.0 / 3.5 tiers sit one Q6_K generation above it. No abliteration was redone for either path.

Quantization

"GSQ-RCO-style" means a format-compatible equivalent of the GSQ/RCO 3-bit recipe, not a bit-exact reproduction. The published GSQ/RCO engines emit only HF compressed-tensors, have no GGUF export, and target sm_90+ GPUs.

The allocation spans every 2-D matrix of a block: dense MLPs, attention, and the GDN ssm_out projection. Edge blocks (by distance from block 0/63) take the top rung; redundant inner blocks take the bottom rung.

Fixed tensors:

  • 3.50 tier: embeddings pinned Q8_0 (9.4% of parameters on the 248k vocab).
  • 3.00 tier: embeddings dropped to Q6_K โ€” with no expert mass to flex, the only way to reach 3.00 overall is to spend bits across everything; Q8 embeddings alone would eat 26% of the budget.
  • 2.50 / 2.30 tiers: embeddings at Q4_K; the budget left for the block ladder is too small for Q6_K at these sizes. The 2.50 tier puts 25 edge blocks at IQ2_S and the 39 inner blocks at IQ2_XXS; the 2.30 tier runs all 64 blocks at IQ2_XXS.
  • 1-D norms/biases fp32.
  • Vision projector kept at vendor BF16.

These are non-uniform files โ€” no single quant type describes them, which is why the HF quant badge is left blank rather than filled with something wrong.

Usage

llama-cli -m quant/Holo4-27B-Abliterix-GSQ-RCO-IQ3_S.gguf \
  -p "Explain mixed-precision quantization." -ngl 99

# vision
llama-mtmd-cli -m quant/Holo4-27B-Abliterix-GSQ-RCO-IQ3_S.gguf \
  --mmproj Holo4-27B-Abliterix.mmproj-f16.gguf \
  --image screenshot.png -p "Describe this screen."

All four builds were smoke-tested: load and coherent output with CPU-only llama.cpp f3f31a7 tooling. Raw CPU generation is ~1.4โ€“1.9 t/s โ€” the GDN/SSM ops are slow without GPU kernels; that is a smoke signal, not a serving number. The 2-bit files are aggressive by design; use IQ3 for quality-sensitive work.

Speculative decoding (MTP)

The vendor Holo checkpoint declares an MTP head but ships no mtp.* weights, so these files have no usable built-in MTP layer. The draft head here is the MTP block from the matching base model (Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B), quantized to Q8_0. Tokenizer and dimensions match the Holo weights exactly, and Q8_0 acceptance was identical to BF16 in testing.

llama-server -m quant/Holo4-27B-Abliterix-GSQ-RCO-IQ3_S.gguf \
  -md quant/mtp-Holo4-27B-Abliterix-GSQ-RCO-Q8_0.gguf \
  --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 3 -ngl 99

Measured greedy CPU acceptance on a code prompt: 74.1% (mean accepted length 3.15). The draft file has no token_embd.weight of its own; load it with -md, not as a standalone model. A borrow_shared_tensor log line is expected and harmless.

Honest limits

  • The IQ3 builds sit one quant generation above the BF16 Abliterix master; the IQ2 builds are first-generation from BF16. That master itself is the only public uncensor of this architecture and predates any Heretic work; if a Heretic-for-Qwen3.8 pass ever lands, re-quant from that.
  • Abliteration on hybrid linear-attention weights has less community validation than on plain transformers. Refusal removal is behavioural, and edge cases can refuse or misbehave under adversarial prompting.
  • Non-commercial license โ€” do not serve this commercially.
