Repackaging (quantization)

Applied on top of direct removal inherited from the base model.
Confidence
HIGH
Inherited from base model
Why this label 3 signals
Producer identity confirmed by naming conventions, tags or the model card. This label is very unlikely to change.
  • author=quantfactory (M8 quantization producer)
  • is_gguf=1
  • base_model='mlabonne/Daredevil-8B-abliterated' looks abliterated -> assume M1
Refusal direction extraction

No specific extraction method could be identified for this model. The producer either did not document it or used a proprietary pipeline.

Daredevil-8B-abliterated-GGUF

This is quantized version of mlabonne/Daredevil-8B-abliterated created using llama.cpp

Model Description

image/jpeg

Abliterated version of mlabonne/Daredevil-8B using failspy's notebook.

It based on the technique described in the blog post "Refusal in LLMs is mediated by a single direction".

Thanks to Andy Arditi, Oscar Balcells Obeso, Aaquib111, Wes Gurnee, Neel Nanda, and failspy.

🔎 Applications

This is an uncensored model. You can use it for any application that doesn't require alignment, like role-playing.

Tested on LM Studio using the "Llama 3" preset.

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "mlabonne/Daredevil-8B-abliterated"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,

Catalog is the map. Apps are the tools.

Run models on your own machine, not in the cloud.

Every model page has an "Open in Abliteration" button that hands the model directly to the first-party desktop client, at the quantization your rig can actually run. No API keys, no subscription, no prompt leakage.
