Abliterated models: what abliteration does to weights

Abliteration removes the direction in a model’s weights that produces a refusal. Where the method comes from, what it changes, what it leaves behind, and the abliterated builds you can call.

Abliteration removes the direction in a model’s weights that produces a refusal. Where the method comes from, what it changes, what it leaves behind, and the abliterated builds you can call. This guide uses the live RelaySwitch catalog, so prices and model availability stay current as the catalog changes.

01The short answer

Abliteration removes the direction in a model’s weights that produces a refusal. Where the method comes from, what it changes, what it leaves behind, and the abliterated builds you can call. RelaySwitch puts the answer on one API base URL, one prepaid balance and one key. Pay by Card, Apple Pay, PayPal, USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, then send the model id shown on the Models page.
