DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 model released with reduced refusals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new version of the DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 model has been released, featuring significant reductions in refusal rates. The abliterated model successfully removed most refusals, with only 4 out of 100 prompts being refused in chat mode and 9 out of 100 in think mode, compared to the original model's 97 and 98 refusals respectively. This optimized version aims to maintain model integrity while minimizing unwanted responses, potentially outperforming other abliterated models. Quantized versions (GGUF) and a LoRA for the models are also available. AI

IMPACT Offers users a more compliant and potentially better-performing open-source model for local deployment.
