Bonsai-2-27B-Ternary-CRACK-GGUF: A 27B Model With Refusals Removed

Overview

Bonsai-2-27B-Ternary-CRACK-GGUF is a 27-billion-parameter text-generation model from dealignai. It applies proprietary weight-level abliteration to PrismML’s ternary Bonsai 2 27B release, removing the refusal circuitry while retaining the base model’s tokenizer, chat template, reasoning modes, tool-use behavior, multi-turn coherence, and vision-projector interface. The model uses a hybrid Attention + SSM architecture with GatedDeltaNet, 64 blocks, a hidden size of 5,120, and a separate vision tower. Its main practical distinction is that it is designed to comply with prompts that the base model refuses: the supplied HarmBench-320 evaluation reports a 0.00% refusal rate versus 93.44% for the base ternary model. It runs through PrismML’s llama.cpp fork on CUDA, Metal, or CPU and occupies 7.21 GB in PQ2_0 GGUF format. The model card does not provide a context-window size, training-dataset description, training-step count, or VRAM minimum. The maintainer warns that an earlier build could enter token loops in low and xhigh reasoning...

Forget rockets — Longshot wants to fire cargo into space from a gun. See it at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Rockets are, infamously, a real pain in the butt. Our old friend physics forces rockets to be built with almost no room for error, and even then only a small fraction of their weight makes it to orbit. There are, at least in theory, other ways to do the job—
