Choosing an Abliterated Model API: Speed, Quality and Refusals
Choose an abliterated model API by comparing model identity, latency, task quality, refusal claims and cost per successful request.
Abliteration and the refusal direction: the mechanism explained
Understand the geometric idea behind abliteration, what removing a direction means and why the result still needs evaluation.
Abliterated vs quantized models: two different changes to evaluate
Abliteration changes refusal-related behavior; quantization changes numerical representation. Learn how to separate their effects in a comparison.
