The Swiss Federal Supreme Court is evaluating Heretic

“Oh no, are they banning abliterated models now?!?”

If that was your first thought when you read the title I can’t blame you. But that’s actually not what’s happening in this case.

Instead, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court is evaluating Heretic for their own use!

As it turns out, the Court has been suffering from the same problem as many people on this sub: LLMs refusing perfectly legitimate requests. The paper “Measuring & Mitigating Over-Alignment for LLMs in Multilingual Criminal Law Courts” investigates potential solutions to this problem, including abliteration, and specifically evaluates Heretic in Section 5.2, with a favorable conclusion.

Please remember that only criminals and terrorists use abliterated models 😏
