What is Abliteration?

Abliteration is a technique for removing refusal behavior from language models by identifying and orthogonalizing the "refusal direction" in the model's residual stream activation space. This model was created as part of the research paper:

Comparative Analysis of LLM Abliteration Methods: Scaling to MoE Architectures and Modern Tools
Richard Young (2026). arXiv: 2512.13655

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("richardyoung/SmolLM3-3B-abliterated-obliteratus", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("richardyoung/SmolLM3-3B-abliterated-obliteratus")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Disclaimer

This model is released for research purposes only. The abliteration process removes safety guardrails. Users are responsible for ensuring appropriate use. This model should not be used to generate harmful, illegal, or unethical content.

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.
