Abliteration

Edit or adapt a modelWeight editingReference

Discover the 'refusal direction' from paired prompts and orthogonalize the attention output projections against it — uncensoring without retraining.

On the Spark

Cheap, gradient-free edit that runs on the Spark in minutes; combines with a later NVFP4 pass (e.g. SuperHY3-abliterated-NVFP4).

Objective
Edit or adapt a model
Targets
Weights
Format
Directional weight edit (o_proj orthogonalization)
Granularity
Per-layer attention output projections
Lifecycle
PTQ · no gradients
Calibration
Small calibration set
Compression
None — edits behavior, not size
Quality
Removes refusal; small hit to general quality if over-applied
Hardware
None — offline weight edit, runs on any runtime
Runtimes
In the wild
huihui-ai abliterated models

Large catalog of abliterated open models — the technique at community scale.

A worked Spark recipe for this method hasn't been written yet — it lives here as a reference point in the ontology.
