Abliterater is an educational workbench from GENOX in Seoul. It is intended for research, teaching, and defensive security study of how official open-weight Instruct models refuse certain requests. You select a checkpoint, choose a method, download a script pack, and run it on your computer, a GPU you rent, or a cloud API you pay for. This repository does not host model weights. Illegal use and third-party commercial use are not permitted. License: AGPL-3.0-or-later. Contributions are welcome.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI workbench and script generation can be vibe-coded, but implementing representation engineering and refusal-direction ablation requires deep mechanistic interpretability and PyTorch LLM weight-manipulation expertise.
What it would actually take: Built with Python/PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, and a lightweight web interface (Gradio/Next.js). The difficult aspect is calculating activation differences across contrastive prompt datasets, isolating steering/refusal vectors via SVD/PCA, and directly modifying model tensor weights (orthogonalized projection) without catastrophically destroying general model coherence.
