This is a dated ranking, as of November 13, 2026, of the public Hugging Face repositories that carry the tag or name "uncensored", "abliterated", "heretic" or "decensored", ordered by the API's recent download count. Sixteen of the top 20 are built on a Qwen base model, all 20 are GGUF files, and 16 were created in August 2026 or later. The table reports popularity only. It is not an assessment of quality or safety, and download counts include automated pulls and are not a count of users.

Base model is taken from the repository's own base model tag. Where that tag points to another community repository, the family is named from the repository name. "Other" in the licence column is the platform's label for a licence outside its standard list.
What the Pattern Shows
- Qwen dominates. Sixteen of the top 20 are Qwen-based, eight of them on Qwen3.8-27B. Among the top 100, 58 are Qwen-based, 11 Gemma, 7 DeepSeek and 1 Llama.
- It follows the base model's own popularity. Alibaba's original Qwen3.8-27B repository showed 6,960,395 recent downloads and 19,852 likes on the same day, more than any modified version.
- The list is recent. Sixteen of the 20 were created in August 2026 or later, the month the Qwen3.8-27B repository was created.
- Converted files lead. All 20, and 88 of the top 100, are GGUF repositories, the format used by desktop apps for running models locally.
- The top is concentrated. These 20 repositories account for 43% of the recent downloads of all 27,959 in the set. They come from 14 accounts.
- Downloads and likes diverge. The first-ranked repository has 102 likes against 5 million downloads. That gap is consistent with files being fetched by software rather than chosen by people browsing, though the API does not say who downloads.
- Access controls are rare here. One of the 20 is gated and none carries the "not-for-all-audiences" tag.

Every repository in the all-time top 10 was created in 2026. The most-liked repository in the whole set, with 5,449 likes, is a 9B model created on October 30, 2026 that does not appear in either table: it ranks high on likes and on the trending list but lower on downloads.
What the Ranking Does Not Show
None of these figures says how well a model works or what it will produce. Most model cards for edited models report at most a refusal count and a drift measure, both narrower than they look, as explained in abliterated model. For published measurements see open-weight model refusal rates, 2026, and for totals across all 27,959 repositories see uncensored model statistics on Hugging Face.
Methodology
Figures are from the public Hugging Face models API, read on November 13, 2026 between 21:33 and 21:37 UTC. We paged through the tag filter and the name search for "uncensored", "abliterated", "heretic" and "decensored", merged the results by repository ID into a set of 27,959, and sorted by the API's downloads field (recent downloads) and its downloadsAllTime field. Likes, licence tag, gating status and creation date are as the API returned them. The base model column comes from each repository's base model tags. We did not download, run or test any of these models, and the ranking will change from day to day.
