I wrote an article about abliteration and how NeuralDaredevil-8B was created. Beyond removing alignment, I believe it's an interesting technique with a lot of potential. It's basically fine-tuning without retraining.
In this article, we see how it works, implement it in Google Colab, and heal the abliterated model to recover the performance drop due to this technique. The final model is an uncensored and high-quality model with the highest MMLU score on the Open LLM Leaderboard (8B category).
