alt Hacker NewsIf anyone's looking to actually run a model that doesn't have guardrails, there's an uncensored model that you can run locally with llama.cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rq7jtm/qwen353...
Specifically, I serve the model with this shell script on my M2 Max: https://github.com/shawwn/scrap/blob/master/llama-serve
It's pretty good. I used it to do some pesticide research. (Normal models all refuse due to guardrails about bioweapons.)

Abilt models typically perform worse than their bases at the same tasks, so while I'd use one to evaluate content knowledge, I'd probably ultimately stick to one from a family I could fool with abstraction or coerce through system prompt.
Also the HauHau abliteration (uncredited Heretic treatment) of 3.6 27B is excellent, for tasks that benefit from more world knowledge.

As someone who has never once had any need whatsoever to research pesticides I… don’t think it’s bad at all? I don’t want anyone to have the capability to invent a human-targeted pesticide who isn’t verified not crazy?

Correction: There's tens of thousands of them. They're easy to create, which is why everyone publishes their own.
Just put "uncensored", "abliterated", or "heretic" into search on huggingface/ollama/etc and pick any them. Fair warning: most aren't very good, essentially lobotomized, and totally broken if you enable thinking.
