I downloaded an uncensored aggressive Qwen 3.5 model and I can see in its reasoning that it is still limiting responses based on safety guardrails (e.g. violence, NSFW).

Anybody have recommendations for truly uncensored models?

EDIT: I turned off reasoning and I think it’s more uncensored if I’m very specific about what the response should include.

    Thanks! I’ll check out that model. Is it actually usable or just good at being uncensored?

      It’s as good as an 8B can be, but with the right system prompt for your purpose and proper expectations, I think it’s good. I’ve had some other newer 8B that blew up after a few cycles, literally getting stuck on something, but I can’t say this one ever did. But again, even the big models like Claude and the rest work better with short sessions and a specific, detailed prompt to start with. Use a model to make the prompt, telling it to be detailed, concise, and minimize fluff. Less tokens in and out that way, less context drift (hopefully).
