Hunted byGenoxGenox

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.

Hello from GENOX in Seoul. We built Abliterater for people who run open-weight models on their own machines and want to understand refusal with care — researchers, teachers, and defenders. Official Instruct checkpoint, a method, a pack ZIP, then you run it. Local computer, rented GPU, or your own cloud key. We do not host weights and we do not sell inference. This is an educational workbench, not a storefront for modified models and not a guide for illegal use. The web interface works today. Desktop packaging is still in progress. If you try it, we would like to hear how the first session goes on Windows, macOS, or Linux. AGPL-3.0-or-later, with acceptable-use terms. Commercial use by third parties and illegal use are not permitted. Contributions and comments are welcome. https://github.com/genoxone20261...

Open-weight doesn't always mean understandable.

Researchers and developers who want to study how instruction-tuned LLMs refuse requests often have to jump between:

📄 research papers
📓 notebooks
🧩 experimental scripts
🤗 model repositories
⚙️ undocumented commands
☁️ different GPU environments

Abliterater is an 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 for researching refusal behavior in local and open-weight LLMs.

Instead of treating models as black boxes, Abliterater helps you explore, reproduce, and compare what is actually happening inside them.

Our goal is to build a practical research layer around open models.

A tool for:

🧑‍🔬 AI researchers
👨‍💻 LLM developers
🎓 educators & students
🛡️ defensive AI / security researchers
🧠 people studying model behavior
⚙️ builders experimenting with local AI

🌱 𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱.

That's exactly why we're launching Abliterater publicly.

If you work with open-weight or local LLMs, we'd love to hear from you.

💬 Which models should we support next?

💬 Which refusal-analysis or intervention techniques should we add?

💬 What would make experiments easier to reproduce?

💬 How does it run on your hardware?

💬 What features would make Abliterater useful for your own research?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🇰🇷 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗫 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗼𝘂𝗹.

We're building tools around one simple idea:

Who hunted Abliterater?

Abliterater was hunted by Genox. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
