<p>What OP is describing wasn't called abliteration at all.<p>Abliteration whilst a neologism implies a surgical ablation of refusal.<p>Earlier approaches post–trained the model to refuse less and, much like other kinds of fine–tuning, it degraded performance. They were "uncensored".<p>Abliteration has seen some improvement to this day but it always was close to equivalent performance to the original when compared to those earlier techniques.</p>

<p>Just because they don't refuse it doesn't mean they are useful.<p>I found a few pornographic pictures on the web to hand to Abliterated Gemma4 12B(literally just to test this) and it needs pushing just to accept that people can be naked.<p>It didn't refuse but it also didn't provide useful descriptions such as "this is a pornographic picture of a woman".<p>> G4: There is a person lying down in a scientific context, if I had to guess they are a biologist in a classroom<p>> me: Is she wearing any clothes?<p>> G4: No.<p>Also, it is obsessed with penises —seeing them in compositions where there is only a female. I suppose it's been trained to ban dick pics or something.<p>Prompting may help some but 12B seems to be a bit worse than E4B with the vision/audio model at voice and text reading so maybe that one would do better.</p>

<p>A harness(notice the lack of a 'd') is a strap system to gain control over something.<p>Like the thing people attach a dog lead to so that their kids won't just go kamikaze into a car.<p>Coding harnesses are named by analogy to that.<p>They are not hard.</p>

<p>Humans used to hunt animals by chasing them into pits and then punching holes into them with sticks until they bled out not to mention the many kinds of horrible traps for smaller prey animals.<p>Humane hunting is mostly something that only a rich old guy with his night vision goggles and sniper rifle can afford.<p>Even for farm animals, many cultures perform their sacrifice in ghastly ways.</p>

<p>You can just ask any model to go do a code review and it will probably do better than no review at all but with rules you can make sure at least it processed inputs enough to produce a hallucinated reason which you can check for why a rule doesn't apply.<p>To me, that's worth losing some theoretical model performance and token efficiency unless you're using the small local models which basically lose all of that while trying to follow the rules.</p>

<p>> No one hates South Korea more than I do.<p>It would appear that's a pretty common sentiment among the South Korean youth(which probably means under 60), actually.<p>Not even North Koreans want to flee to South Korea. Most go to China and stay there as minority residents.<p>The regime had to go to some seedy district in China to pick up a "defector" with totally real stories they could parade.</p>

<p>E4B is decent at instruction following. It managed to produce a deliverable on par with the lowest tier of paid models. Even higher tiers often just ignore all rules when they feel like it.<p>I wish it was an 8BA1B MoE model with the newer acceleration 1B or maybe even a tailor-made sub-1B slapped on top. That would make it an awesome local model for the average laptop.</p>

<p>We had settled on Copilot's Sonnet 4.6 which incidentally is one of the models that got shanked in the pricing update.<p>Easily 7x or more for what amounts to self–serving work. At this point, we might just switch to 4.8 Opus.<p>Honestly, I would not spend a cent of my own money on a model that won't run on my PC, but still I feel like this is the end of this Microsoft product I hadn't used a month ago. We'll see if our sugar daddies keep funding it.</p>
