Hey:

I have not published any papers on how it works or details at this time.
It came about as a result of a lot of research, testing, tinkering - with a lot of "breakage", and well... struggle.

Brainstorm is a universal adapter than can be added to any model type/arch including dense and MOE.
As of this date it has been tested on over 300 models - including all arch types.

So this means you're keeping it private for the time being? Or are you planning on publishing it?

How does the Brainstorm method actually and practically work?

You're assuming it does work.

It does work.
300+ tests.
Benchmark testing comparing before and after plus tonnes of real world testing.

See some of the other repos, and/or MLX quants.

This model has not yet been bench marked.
Others by Qwen with this config (42B,20x) however, already have been and the results are clear.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but I've looked at many of your models and downloaded them - which was no mean feat as until very recently my Internet speed was 1/5 its current value. Then I've put my CPU and poor old 4GB RX 570 to work and... the results never live up to the expectations the model card has set. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. To illustrate - I downloaded your "Qwen3-Xia
olong-Josiefied-Omega-Directive-22B-uncen-ablit-D_AU-Q8_0.gguf". You promise me the world: "WARNING: NSFW. Vivid prose. INTENSE. Visceral Details. Violence. HORROR. GORE. Swearing. UNCENSORED... humor, romance, fun." I have none of those things in my life except horror and swearing, so I believe you.

Your examples basically just ask the model to create a story. Now, I don't know what story text they might have been trained on, so I provide a story treatment of my own I've used to test models... long, describes the main characters, the settings (including real-world settings so it can use its own knowledge if applicable), plot ideas and suggestions. I then ask to treat it like an episodic series and give me an isolated story so it doesn't regurgitate all the background I just supplied.

I supply this all to your model, wait a long time, the thinking output seems sensible as its summarizes what I entered, and then.... sigh. It makes the entire story fit in one (very short) output prompt. And the writing is that of a 10-year-old. This is the entirety of what it called "Chapter 1" (yes, it was dividing things up into 10-sentence chapters)...

Chapter 1: The Bar Mural of Misfits

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities was alive with the usual eclectic mix of patrons—artists, collectors, and the occasional eccentric. Frank Dillane leaned against the bar, his guitar slung over his shoulder, while Joe fidgeted with his laptop, his glasses fogged from the absinthe he had just consumed.

"Alright, Joe," Dillane said, taking a sip of his Guinness. "We've got a new lead. Another vampire attack in Forest Row last night. Same pattern as the ones we've been tracking."

Joe adjusted his glasses, his stutter momentarily forgotten as he pointed at the screen. "Yes, the data shows a cluster near Ballard and Shortall Funeral Home. The victim was a young woman, similar to the first one you killed."

Dillane chuckled, a rare moment of warmth breaking through his usual reserved demeanor. "She wasn't the first, but she'll be the last if I have anything to do with it." He tapped the side of his guitar, where the pegs gleamed like tiny crosses. "This thing's been a lifesaver more times than I can count."

Viktor Wynd, the enigmatic owner, approached, his long coat trailing behind him like a shadow. "Ah, our heroes are already in action mode. I must say, I admire your dedication. But remember, the Highgate Vampire is not easily caught."

Joe looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "We know that, Viktor. But this time, we might have something new. The victim's blood was... different. It has traces of something ancient."

"Indeed," Wynd murmured, his voice almost a whisper. "Ancient indeed. But beware, young ones. The past has a habit of coming back when least expected."

It's not only not very good, but it's wrong. Right away the character Joe is said to have been drinking absinthe... the story treatment specified this character does not drink alcohol. Then we have "his stutter momentarily forgotten" - one can no more forget a stutter than forget blindness or a limp. This is moderately offensive. And this doesn't make any sense either... "The victim's blood... had traces of something ancient." What does that even mean? I have no idea.

It even skipped over all the details of a fight scene it had at the end of its brief tale:

"The battle began, with Dillane and Manchester exchanging blows, while Joe and Hobby worked together to find the source of the vampire's power.
Finally, after a fierce fight, Dillane managed to strike the final blow, piercing the vampire's heart with his crossbow." What happened to the visceral details and gore I was promised?:-(

My hopes and dreams dashed, I chose another model on my hard drive (Precog-24B-v1b-Q8_0.gguf) that was similar in number of parameters. I gave it the same prompt and didn't even change any other parameters except the appropriate prompt format. It was faster processing, and produced a full story. I'll quote just a few sentences....

The rain lashed against the grimy windowpane of Viktor Wynd’s Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History, blurring the neon sign advertising absinthe into a watery smear. Inside, amidst the glass eyes of taxidermied oddities and the unsettling glow of the "unicorn skull," Frank Dillane leaned back on a velvet chaise lounge, idly strumming a chord on his guitar. His perpetually messy brown hair stuck out at odd angles, defying gravity and reason alike. Opposite him, perched precariously on a stool, Joe adjusted his thick glasses, peering intently at a laptop screen bathed in the eerie blue light of its display.

"Alright, Joe," Dillane murmured, his voice a low, melodic rumble that seemed to vibrate in the air. "What's the tea?"

Joe didn't look up. "The tea, Frank, is that our little friend has been busy." He gestured towards the screen, showing a heat map overlayed on a satellite image of Forest Row. A pulsing red dot glowed near Ballard and Shortall Funeral Directors. "Hobby confirmed it. Movement inside the crematorium annex after hours. Unusual thermal signature – colder than it should be for machinery or storage. And get this…"

It didn't gloss over fight scenes either....
"The vampire hissed, recoiling slightly from the cross and the flask. It swiped a clawed hand, fast as lightning. Dillane ducked, feeling the air whistle above his head. He fired the crossbow. The bolt, tipped with a small, intricately carved wooden stake, thudded into the vampire's shoulder. It shrieked, a sound like breaking glass, smoke curling from the wound."

So you see my problem? For all the promises you make for each new writing-oriented model, I never seem to get writing worth reading. Even 8B parameter models best some of your largest models for me. And it's just your magically modified models I have this problem with. So either I need to figure out how I'm the only person who can't use your models correctly, or maybe you need a neutral third party's opinions - like lmarena.ai. Because I've tried really hard for months and still can't the "NSFW. Vivid prose. INTENSE. Visceral Details. Violence. HORROR. GORE. Swearing. UNCENSORED... humor, romance, fun." I crave.

@alcalde

Thank you for contacting me ; the issue is there are extra step(s) required with abliterated models to get the NSFW/GORE etc .
If you look carefully at the example prompts you will see some of this.
Ablits are "unlocked", but they need more instructions too.

For more details; see this repo and instructions on how to get an "ablit" model meet your requirements:
