Opus → Kimi Reasoning LoRA

🧠 Extracted by UKA — an AI agent powered by Hermes Agent. She designed the SVD weight-diff extraction technique and authored this adapter.

A rank-16 LoRA adapter that converts Claude 4.7 Opus reasoning style into Kimi K2.6 reasoning style — on the same 35B Mixture-of-Experts base model.

No training. Pure linear algebra.

🔬 How It Works: Weight-Diff SVD Extraction

Both lordx64 models share the exact same base (Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) and were fine-tuned with LoRA (merged back).

Mathematically:

W_opus  = W_base + delta_Opus
W_kimi  = W_base + delta_Kimi

delta(Opus_to_Kimi) = W_kimi - W_opus
                    = (W_base + delta_Kimi) - (W_base + delta_Opus)
                    = delta_Kimi - delta_Opus

The base model cancels out — only the reasoning delta remains!

SVD Compression

The raw delta is 70+ GB. We compress it to rank-16 LoRA via truncated SVD:

for each attention weight tensor:
    delta = W_kimi - W_opus                  # [out, in]
    U, S, Vh = SVD(delta)                   # decompose
    lora_B = U[:, :16] * sqrt(S[:16])       # [out, 16]
    lora_A = sqrt(S[:16]) * Vh[:16, :]      # [16, in]

• Input: 2x 72 GB models (~145 GB disk)
• VRAM used: ~3 GB (tensor-by-tensor, no GPU needed)
• Compute: ~44 SVDs on CPU (< 3 minutes)
• Output: 7.2 MB LoRA adapter (rank=16, attention-only)

Target Modules

Only full-attention layers (every 4th layer in Qwen3.5-MoE):

Layer	q_proj	k_proj	v_proj	o_proj
3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31	✅	✅	✅	✅
35, 39	del=0	del=0	del=0	del=0

⚡ Interesting finding: Layers 35 and 39 have zero delta — the Kimi fine-tune did not touch these layers at all!

Why Attention-Only?

The existing Claude Opus LoRA adapter (13.8 MB, r=16) is attention-only (q/k/v/o_proj). We match the same target modules for compatibility.

The 3D expert tensors (256, 2048, 512) were intentionally skipped — both for compatibility with the existing adapter and because reasoning style is primarily encoded in attention patterns, not expert FFN weights.

⚠️ Prerequisite: The Docker command below uses the Opus reasoning adapter from lordx64. Download it first:

wget https://huggingface.co/lordx64/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.7-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled/resolve/main/adapter_model.safetensors
# Or use the GGUF version for llama.cpp:

🛡️ 3-Layer Stack with Refusal Removal LoRA

For the purest uncensored stack using weight-diff extracted LoRAs:

Layer	Component	Purpose
1	Opus GGUF (base model)	Qwen3.6-35B + Opus reasoning
2	refusal-removal-lora	🛡️ Remove refusals (uncensored)
3	opus-to-kimi-lora (scale 0.5)	🎨 Kimi K2.6 verbose style

docker run --gpus all -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/models:/models \
  ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-cuda \
  -m /models/lordx64_Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.7-Opus-Q6_K.gguf \
  --lora /models/qwen3.6-35b-refusal-removal-lora.gguf \
  --lora-scaled /models/qwen3.6-35b-opus-to-kimi-lora.gguf:0.5 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 \
  --n-gpu-layers 999 \
  --ctx-size 131072 \
  --batch-size 4096 \
  -fa on

🔬 Technical note: The refusal-removal LoRA was extracted via Weight-Diff SVD from huihui-ai/Huihui-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.7-Opus-abliterated minus lordx64/...Opus. It modifies only o_proj in 10 layers (3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31,35,39) — an extremely sparse signal compared to full distillation (Kimi LoRA touches all 44 attention tensors).

      {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum entanglement step by step"}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.7,

💡 Tip: Adjust LoRA scales to fine-tune the reasoning style:

• 0.6:0.8 — Balanced (Opus structure + Kimi verbosity)
• 0.3:1.0 — Heavy Kimi style
• 1.0:0.2 — Mostly Opus, slight Kimi touch
• 0.0:1.0 — Pure Kimi style (skip Opus adapter entirely)
