Libraries

How to use ikarius/Granite-3.2-8b-instruct-Abliterated-NF4 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ikarius/Granite-3.2-8b-instruct-Abliterated-NF4")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ikarius/Granite-3.2-8b-instruct-Abliterated-NF4")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ikarius/Granite-3.2-8b-instruct-Abliterated-NF4")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

**Sources**: OpenCompass leaderboard, LMSYS Chatbot Arena (abliterated variants), local RTX 5090 benchmarks (Nov 2025)

**Why this model wins on a single RTX 5090**:
- Highest reasoning + coding scores in the 8B class
- Zero refusals after abliteration
- Fastest inference at 152 tokens/sec
- Lowest VRAM usage (5.2 GB)
- Permanent NF4 quantization – no runtime overhead

Perfect for uncensored, high-performance local agents.
