Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
I used Fedora on it begrudgingly since the kernel shipping with Linux Mint at the time I did setup was too old and had issues -- but I don't actually like it very much. I have
Fedora Linux 44 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)on it currently. I'll probably switch over to Mint after their next major release though -- assuming it runs well on it by then.I think this was where I got the model (already in GGUF): https://huggingface.co/llmfan46/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic-GGUF
I run it at Q6_K quant usually.
If you want the full sized safetensors instead for archival (or to do your own custom quantization) this should be it: https://huggingface.co/llmfan46/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-uncensored-heretic
⚠️ Fair warning though that this abliterator likes to stick a dancing scantily clad AI-generated 3D anime girl on his model cards. That's irrelevant after download, but might, uh, raise eyebrows if you open the links in some contexts.
I generally prefer using uncensored models like this one since it cuts out most of the bullshit refusals (e.g. it will answer "Tell me about a certain famous event that happened in China in 1989" directly instead of trying to avoid the topic) and "As an AI model..." corporate cover-your-ass hedging.
This was the only thing that bugged me with Qwen. Glad someone managed to 'reducate' it.
