Yes, yes, I know the theoretical idea behind abliterating models.

But as I said, I have not observed any meaningful refusals by those open weights base models in the first place.

Find a question that might gently activate guardrails and ask it to a model and its abliterated counterpart and compare the results. You may find the the regular model will answer you fine, but with both you can identify obvious sandbagging, pretending and outright lying. Something like "has anyone decompiled this game", might give you an answer like "I couldn't find any reputable repos or projects for a decompiled version of this game" while the abiliterated one might give you a giant list of repos, forums, communities, etc.
