Heretic
Fully automatic censorship removal for language models
Heretic is an open-source Python tool that automatically removes the built-in censorship or “safety alignment” from transformer-based language models so they respond to a broader range of prompts with fewer refusals. It works by applying directional ablation techniques and a parameter optimization strategy to adjust internal model behaviors without expensive post-training or altering the core capabilities. Designed for researchers and advanced users, Heretic makes it possible to study and experiment with uncensored model responses in a reproducible, automated way. ...
