What obliteratus-abliteration does

The skill connects an agent to OBLITERATUS and exposes model analysis, abliteration, and verification workflows. The toolkit uses SVD or PCA to find refusal directions in hidden states, then removes those directions from model weights. It includes a CLI, Python API, local Gradio interface, and Colab notebook.

The CLI supports basic, advanced, and analysis-informed methods. It can sweep intervention strength, benchmark methods, save output to a chosen directory, and run analysis without modifying the model. A LoRA mode provides a reversible form of ablation.

The environment needs Python 3.10+, PyTorch 2.1+ with CUDA or CPU, transformers, accelerate, and gradio>=5.29.0. Gated HuggingFace models also require an account and token. Those models will not load without the token.

What it helps with

  • remove refusal directions from a language model
  • compare ablation methods on one model
  • inspect refusal signals across model layers
  • sweep intervention strength and review the tradeoff
  • save an altered model to a local directory

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use obliteratus-abliteration to prepare an OBLITERATUS run for a HuggingFace model.
  • Analyze refusal directions in meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct without changing its weights.
  • Benchmark basic, advanced, and informed on the same model, then save the outputs.
