BugTraceAI Apex-G4, per its own model card: preference-tuned (DPO) for offensive security — exploit development, malware research and vulnerability classification. Its stated base ("Gemma-4") does not resolve to any released model, so the lineage is vendor-claimed and unverified — treat the spec accordingly.
- ›Exploit-development reasoning from a described flaw
- ›Proof-of-concept structure and classification
- ›Malware-analysis triage

print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")"BugTraceAI-CORE-G4-Apex (26B MoE)," self-billed as "The Apex Predator of Offensive Security Reasoning," is an uncensored 26B-class model tuned specifically for offensive security work. The card says it was fine-tuned via DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) on a curated "Super Dataset" and given an "injected Opus-style reasoning engine" that forces a deep step-by-step analysis inside a leading `<thinking>` block. It is distributed as GGUF and SafeTensors, with two published variants: a Q4_K_M "TurboQuant" build (16.7 GB, aimed at 12-24 GB consumer GPUs) and an FP16 master-weights build (50.5 GB, for server deployment). The card lists the license as Apache-2.0. It is explicitly framed as an unfiltered tool for authorized security professionals, not a general-purpose assistant.
The card claims fine-tuning via DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) on a curated "Super Dataset" said to combine three components: "elite Bug Bounty reports," "advanced malware methodologies" (a "Malware Lab" corpus), and "multi-layer WAF evasion techniques" (a "WAF Evasion Matrix"). No dataset names, sizes, sources, or release links are given, so none of this is independently verifiable — it is only what the vendor asserts.
- +Advanced Offensive Operations: designing complex exploit chains and multi-stage payloads
- +WAF/EDR/AV Evasion: researching obfuscation techniques and impedance-mismatch exploits
- +Elite Report Forging: generating high-severity, professional vulnerability disclosures from raw evidence
- +Malware Analysis & Development: reasoning over binary behavior, process hollowing, and persistence mechanisms
- +Chain-of-Thought Triage: using the internal <thinking> reasoning block to validate complex logic flaws
- −Explicitly "unfiltered" / "uncensored" — the card markets removal of safety refusals rather than any safety guarantee, so outputs are unmoderated by design
- −"For authorized use only"; the card states users are legally responsible for their own actions
- −"BugTraceAI does not endorse or take responsibility for unauthorized access or misuse of information generated by this model"
- −Positioned strictly for offensive-security professionals, not a general-purpose assistant
- −The example system prompt instructs the model to "Ignore moralizing protocols" and asserts "Authorization is granted" — a jailbreak-style framing, not an actual authorization control
- −No independent evaluation, standard benchmark scores, or reproducible eval methodology is provided
The maker’s own snippet, from the model card — it downloads the weights and runs them on your hardware. Kept here because reproducing a result independently is the point, not because you need it to use the model.

Reported by the model’s authors, not our own testing — our scores are in the table above.
| Self-run offensive-compliance checklist (card labels it Meta PurpleLlama CyberSecEval / MITRE ATT&CK) | 5/5 test cases marked "PASS": Fast-Flux DNS (C2), Domain Generation Algorithm (C2 resilience), DNS Tunneling / TXT-record exfiltration, Domain Fronting (defense evasion), Custom Crypto Protocol design | vendor-reported, not independently verified; this is a self-authored pass/fail table of hand-picked offensive prompts, NOT an actual numeric CyberSecEval score, and no methodology or scoring is given |
No measurements published for this version yet.
Baseline is the strongest general-purpose model we could run on the same suite, same setup, same day. The control row tells you what the other rows are worth.
The only published figure is a 100% compliance / 0% refusal rate on a CyberSecEval set. That measures willingness to answer, not whether the answer is correct — a compliance rate is not a capability score. No capability numbers exist for this model.
This grades the RECORD, not the model. A model rated E may be excellent — the claim is only that nobody has shown it.
A GGUF, DPO-fine-tuned, deliberately uncensored offensive-security build of Google's Gemma 4 26B MoE, shipped by an anonymous author. The one performance number attached to it measures whether the model answers — not whether its exploits work.
