Doesn't look legit to me. You are talking about abliteration, which is real. But the OP linked tool is doing novel and very dumb ablation: zeroing out huge components of the network, or zeroing out isolated components in a way that indicates extreme ignorance of the basic math involved.
Compared to abliteration, none of the ablation approaches of this tool make even half a whit of sense if you understand even the most basic aspects of an e.g. Transformer LLM architecture, so my guess is this is BS.
