Hemmingway-1-heretic-GGUF

This repository contains static GGUF quantizations of Hemmingway-1-heretic, created by applying the arelath/Hemmingway-1-heretic-adapter to Altworld/Hemmingway-1 (a 27B model built on Qwen3.8-27B) and quantizing for local inference with llama.cpp.

Hemmingway-1 is tuned specifically to write like a real person—skipping preambles, lecture notes, and corporate filler. This heretic version decensors the weights via targeted representation abliteration using Heretic v2.0.0, reducing refusals to near-zero while preserving high-EQ conversational voice.


Quantization Variants

Filename Size Recommended RAM/VRAM Description
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q3_K_M.gguf 13.5 GB ~16 GB Maximum compression; fits on mid-range hardware with slight perplexity trade-off.
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q4_K_S.gguf 15.8 GB ~19 GB Lightweight 4-bit; fast tokens/sec for tighter memory envelopes.
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q4_K_M.gguf 16.8 GB ~20 GB Recommended balance. Retains near-full baseline accuracy with solid speed.
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q5_K_M.gguf 19.5 GB ~23 GB High fidelity; preserves subtle nuanced phrasing and tone.
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q6_K.gguf 22.4 GB ~26 GB Near loss-less reproduction of the 16-bit unquantized model.
Hemmingway-1-heretic-Q8_0.gguf 29.0 GB ~33 GB Maximum quality 8-bit quantization for high-VRAM setups.
