Heretic 2.0 Released: Training-free language model modification

-p-e-w- Posted this from Reddit.

"Dear fellow Llamas,

after almost 5 months of development, I finally have the pleasure of announcing to you the immediate availability of the biggest Heretic release ever, Heretic 2.0: https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic

Heretic is the leading software for removing censorship from language models. It now boasts 37k GitHub stars and more than 8,500 models on Hugging Face, with 88 million(!!!) total model downloads.

With Heretic 2.0, the project is entering a new era. Heretic is expanding from a purpose-built tool for censorship removal to a general-purpose model modification tool that can do amazing things. Besides removing censorship, it can suppress slop, reduce sycophancy, alter emotional alignment, and pretty much anything else that you can think of. Of course, censorship removal remains the primary and default function, and in fact works much, much better than ever before. Heretic 2.0 is the most advanced refusal suppression system ever built." -p-e-w-
