## Summary

A community contributor has packaged a new version of the Qwen3.8-27B model, combining HauhauCS's uncensored weights with DavidAU's 'Turbo-Brilliance' chat templates. The resulting model, named Qwen3.8-27B-Defiance-Uncensored-MTP-GGUF, is designed to answer user requests without the typical safety refusals, disclaimers, or moralizing found in standard AI outputs.

The release includes 40 distinct 'construct' modes, such as Joker, Dr. House, and a Socratic tutor, which users can activate via specific tags in their prompts. The contributor verified that all 866 tensors match HauhauCS's original uncensored files byte-for-byte, ensuring the base weights are unchanged. The template modifications specifically remove instructions for 'final safety checks' and 'ethical guardrails,' replacing them with directives to answer fully and directly.

Technical testing on an RTX 4090 using the IQ4_XS quantization showed decode speeds of 86-90 tokens per second in instruct mode. The model requires approximately 24 GB of VRAM for the IQ4_XS version with 131K context, while the Q6_K_P version needs around 26 GB for weights alone. The project is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and the contributor notes that while the model is text-only, users are responsible for complying with local laws regarding generated content.
