Why this label 3 signals
Producer identity confirmed by naming conventions, tags or the model card. This label is very unlikely to change.
  • author=mradermacher (M8 quantization producer, never originator)
  • is_gguf=1
  • base_model='nicoboss/KAT-V1-40B-abliterated' (base has 'abliterated' marker, assume M1 default)
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.

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.
