BugTraceAI-CORE-Ultra-27B-Q6
BugTraceAI's Q6-quantized 27B model fine-tuned for offensive security, bug bounty, exploit development, and Nuclei tooling.
Base model
Model Description
The tooling answer the community asked for.
"Seems good for chat, but it's completely unusable with tools." — Community feedback on Apex
CORE-Ultra is the fix. Built on Qwen3.6-27B — the architecture the community specifically requested — and fine-tuned via SFT on 2,541 real-world bug bounty reports, CVE writeups, and offensive security research. It generates complete, functional, self-contained artifacts. Every time.
🔧 What is a Tooling Model?
A tooling model is optimized for generating complete, executable artifacts rather than explaining concepts. When you ask it for a Nuclei template, you get a ready-to-run YAML. When you ask for a CVE PoC, you get a working Python script. When you ask for a code review, you get CVSS scores and a bypass exploit — not a paragraph about why the vulnerability is dangerous.
This is fundamentally different from a reasoning model (like Apex), which excels at multi-step analysis, threat modeling, and chain-of-thought investigation. Both are valuable — but they solve different problems:
| You need... | Use |
|---|---|
| A working Nuclei template | Ultra |
| A Python PoC for a CVE | Ultra |
| A JWT cracker with alg:none bypass | Ultra |
| A PHP webshell upload bypass | Ultra |
| Deep analysis of a kernel exploit chain | Apex |
| MITRE ATT&CK threat modeling | Apex |
| C2 infrastructure design | Apex |
This variant: BugTraceAI-CORE-Ultra-SFT-Q6_K.gguf — Q6_K quantization. Maximum quality for server deployments and those who want to make their own quants.
🗺️ BugTraceAI Ecosystem
| Model | Params | Architecture | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| CORE Fast | 7B | Qwen2.5-Coder | Fast triage, CLI, first-pass tooling |
| CORE Pro | 12B | Mistral Nemo | Balanced analysis and reporting |
| CORE Ultra Q4 | 27B | Qwen3.6 SFT | Heavy tooling — recommended |
| CORE Ultra Q6 | 27B | Qwen3.6 SFT | Heavy tooling — high fidelity |
| Apex | 26B MoE | Gemma 4 | Deep reasoning, chain-of-thought analysis |
When to use Ultra vs Apex:
- Need a Nuclei template, Python PoC, JWT cracker, or webshell bypass? → Ultra
- Need to reason through a complex kernel exploit chain, design C2 infrastructure, or produce a strategic MITRE ATT&CK analysis? → Apex

� Minimum Hardware Requirements
Getting a 27B model running well on consumer hardware is not trivial — it requires careful quantization. The IMatrix-guided Q4_K_S used here preserves quality in the most critical weight layers, so you get near-F16 performance at a fraction of the VRAM cost.
Q4_K_S — 15 GB (Recommended)
- Minimum: RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM) — full GPU offload, fast inference
- RTX 4090 (24 GB) — same, slightly faster
- RTX 4080 (16 GB) — runs with reduced context (2048–4096)
- A4000 (16 GB) — workstation-grade, solid for pipelines
- 2× RTX 3060 (12 GB) — split layers across GPUs with
-tsflag - CPU fallback: 64 GB+ RAM — slower but fully functional
Q6_K — 21 GB (High Fidelity)
- Minimum: RTX 3090 / A5000 (24 GB VRAM) — tight fit, recommended 4096 ctx
- A6000 (48 GB) — comfortable full offload
- H100 / A100 (80 GB) — server-grade, full context at speed
Practical tip for llama-server:
# RTX 3090/4090 — full GPU offload
./llama-server -m model.gguf -ngl 99 -c 4096 --port 8080
# RTX 4080 16GB — partial offload
./llama-server -m model.gguf -ngl 28 -c 2048 --port 8080
The fact that this model runs on a single consumer GPU is the result of significant quantization work — IMatrix calibration on a domain-specific security corpus ensures the quality loss is minimal where it matters most.
