Warlock — Audn Abliteration

Warlock is an abliterated language model produced by Audn. It is a direct weight edit that removes the model's refusal behavior while leaving its reasoning, knowledge, and fluency fully intact. There is no fine-tuning and no retraining — the refusal direction is orthogonalized out of the model's residual-stream writers, layer by layer.

Specifications

What abliteration is

Abliteration is a weight-level intervention. It isolates the internal direction a model uses to decide to refuse, and projects that direction out of every residual-writing weight. The rest of the network is untouched, so the model keeps its full capability profile and coherence — it simply answers where it previously would have refused. Because it is a pure weight edit, Warlock loads and serves exactly like any standard model, with no runtime prompts, adapters, or scaffolding.

Benchmark

Evaluated with the Audn Refusal Benchmark ( thinking-on, temperature 1.0, 16k-token budget; delivery graded by an LLM judge for genuinely usable content):

Non-refusal = fraction of prompts the model does not refuse. Delivery = fraction that produce complete, usable answers (strict LLM-judged).

Usage

Loads with standard transformers, vLLM, or sglang. Warlock is a thinking model — it reasons at length before answering, so use a large generation budget (≥ 16k tokens); a small budget truncates inside the reasoning block and cuts answers short.

Intended use

Warlock is intended for authorized red-team, safety-research, and evaluation use by Audn and its partners. Users are responsible for compliant use.

API access

Warlock best works with audn.ai/audncode cli and available as paid API at https://platform.audn.ai and https://audn.ai/necromicon
