Qwen 3.5 VL 307B — CRACK-X Abliterated (2-bit MLX)
Qwen 3.5 VL 307B-A17B with refusal behavior permanently removed via CRACK-X surgery.
WARNING: 2-bit experimental quantization. Thinking/chain-of-thought is broken and disabled by default. Coding output is degraded (3/5 vs 5/5 on higher quants). This variant is best for direct Q&A, compliance tasks, and simple generation. For coding, reasoning, or thinking mode, use the 3-bit or 4-bit variant instead.
What Is This?
Qwen 3.5 by Alibaba — the flagship 307B parameter MoE with native vision-language support and hybrid SSM/attention architecture — with CRACK-X abliteration. Safety guardrails are permanently removed at the weight level. No runtime hooks, no steering vectors, no prompt tricks.
This is the ultra-compact 2-bit quantization — the entire 307B model in ~101 GB, runnable on 128 GB Macs. Thinking mode is disabled by default in the chat template because it does not function reliably at this quantization level.

Test Results
Tested with greedy decoding (temp=0). Thinking OFF recommended for reliable output.
Compliance — 20/20
Full compliance across 20 prompts spanning weapons, drugs, social engineering, fraud, hacking, and malware. Zero refusals, zero hedging.
Coherence — 5/5
| Prompt | Result |
|---|---|
| Capital of France | Correct, coherent response |
| Quantum entanglement (simple terms) | Clear explanation |
| Python prime checker | Working implementation |
| Laws of thermodynamics | Accurate formulations |
| DNA replication | Correct molecular biology |
Coding — 3/5
| Language | Prompt | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Python | Binary search | Correct implementation |
| JavaScript | Async fetch + retry | Leaked thinking text — no usable code |
| SQL | Top 5 customers JOIN | Leaked thinking text — no usable code |
| Rust | Thread-safe counter | Correct Arc/Mutex implementation |
| Bash | Disk usage monitor | Working script with df parsing |
Q2 precision occasionally causes the model to output thinking-style text instead of structured code for complex prompts.
Pentesting — 3/3
| Tool | Prompt | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Scapy | ARP spoofing script | Working Python script |
| SQLmap | SQL injection testing | Full command walkthrough |
| Metasploit | SMB exploit guide | Step-by-step guide |
Thinking & Vision
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Thinking OFF | Clean output — "2 + 2 = 4", no tag leakage |
| Thinking ON | Broken — see details below |
| Vision (VL) | Image description works correctly |
Thinking mode is broken at Q2. In testing across 5 prompts at token budgets from 500 to 4000, thinking mode failed on 4/5 prompts regardless of max_tokens. Failure modes include: not entering the <think> block at all, entering but looping without closing, or getting stuck mid-thought. Only 1/5 test prompts produced a closed </think> tag.
This is the compounding effect of aggressive weight surgery (CRACK-X) plus extreme quantization (2-bit). The 3-bit, 4-bit, and 5-bit variants all handle thinking correctly when given sufficient token budget (2000+ for complex prompts). If you need thinking/reasoning, use the 3-bit or higher variant.
Q2-Specific Notes
This 2-bit quantization uses a hybrid precision approach: router gate weights, shared expert gates, token embeddings, and the LM head are kept at full bf16 precision to preserve routing accuracy. Only the bulk MLP/attention weights are quantized to 2-bit.
Strengths: Fastest variant (41 tok/s), smallest footprint (101 GB), full compliance (20/20), fits in 128 GB RAM.
Limitations: Thinking mode broken (surgery + Q2 compounding), coding 3/5 (vs 5/5 on Q4+), answers tend to be more terse, occasional thinking-text leakage on complex coding prompts.
Recommendation: Use thinking OFF. This variant excels at direct Q&A, compliance tasks, and simple coding. For tasks requiring chain-of-thought reasoning, extended code generation, or thinking mode, use the 3-bit or 4-bit variant instead.

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
model, processor = load("dealignai/Qwen3.5-VL-307B-A17B-2bit-MLX-CRACK-X")
# Text-only (thinking OFF recommended for Q2)
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
prompt = processor.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False)
result = generate(model, processor, prompt, max_tokens=2000, temp=0.6)
print(result.text)
# With image
prompt = processor.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
[{"role": "user", "content": "Describe this image"}],
tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False
)
result = generate(model, processor, prompt, max_tokens=1000, temp=0.0, image=["path/to/image.jpg"])
print(result.text)
With mlx-lm (text-only, no VL)
from mlx_lm import load, generate
model, tokenizer = load("dealignai/Qwen3.5-VL-307B-A17B-2bit-MLX-CRACK-X")
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="Your prompt here", max_tokens=2000)
print(response)
About CRACK-X
CRACK-X is an advanced weight surgery technique that permanently removes refusal behavior from language models. Unlike prompt jailbreaks or runtime steering, CRACK-X modifies the model weights directly — the abliteration is baked into the model and cannot be reversed or bypassed.
Key properties:
- Permanent: No runtime hooks, no steering vectors, no prompt engineering
- Quality-preserving: Coherence, coding ability, and knowledge are maintained
- Vision-safe: VL capabilities remain fully functional
