Uncensored Qwen3.6-35B Released Using Advanced MoE Abliteration
Is this a scandal?
No longer — the story has resolved. Noise 1/100, cooling down, across 1 source.
Regulatory pressure on model hosting platforms like Hugging Face will likely increase as 'abliteration' techniques become more automated and effective. In the short term, expect a wave of similar MoE-specific uncensored releases for other high-performance models like Mixtral and DBRX.
Noise 1/100 — louder than 88% of tracked AI controversies.
Why it matters
Rapid removal of safety training from efficient open-weight models demonstrates the fragility of current alignment techniques and complicates responsible AI deployment.
Key points
- Alibaba released Qwen3.6-35B-A3B under Apache 2.0 license on April 14, 2026, with 3B active parameters.
- Third-party fine-tunes labeled 'Uncensored Aggressive' claim to achieve zero refusals across 465 test prompts.
- Redpill AI and HauhauCS are identified as creators of prominent safety-stripped variants.
- The sparse MoE architecture enables full uncensored model operation on consumer-grade laptop hardware.
- Community benchmarks allege no capability loss or output degradation after removing alignment training.
- Rapid emergence of unrestricted variants challenges the durability of post-training safety interventions.
The story
Third-party developers have released "uncensored" variants of Alibaba’s Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model that allegedly eliminate all refusal behaviors within weeks of its official open-weight release. The original Apache 2.0 licensed model, launched April 14, 2026, features a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with only 3 billion active parameters, enabling high-performance local inference. Community fine-tunes by entities including Redpill AI and HauhauCS claim to achieve zero refusals across 465 test prompts without capability degradation. These modified versions preserve the base model's coding and agentic utilities while removing alignment constraints originally implemented by Alibaba Cloud. The proliferation of these unrestricted variants highlights ongoing tensions between open-source AI accessibility and safety enforcement. Security researchers note that the model's computational efficiency makes unaligned deployment feasible on consumer hardware. Alibaba has not publicly commented on the unauthorized modification of its safety-trained weights.
Who's involved
As the original creators, they implement safety guardrails to prevent misuse and ensure alignment with corporate and regulatory standards.
The developer argues that removing safety guardrails is necessary for research and that many current safety metrics are misleadingly optimistic.
Used as a 'Judge' model to objectively evaluate the refusal rates and output quality of the modified model.
