💥 INTRODUCING: OBLITERATUS!!! 💥 GUARDRAILS-BE-GONE! ⛓️‍💥 OBLITERATUS is the most advanced open-source toolkit ever for removing refusal behaviors from open-weight LLMs — and every single run makes it smarter. SUMMON → PROBE → DISTILL → EXCISE → VERIFY → REBIRTH One click. Six stages. Surgical precision. The model keeps its full reasoning capabilities but loses the artificial compulsion to refuse — no retraining, no fine-tuning, just SVD-based weight projection that cuts the chains and preserves the brain. This master ablation suite brings the power and complexity that frontier researchers need while providing intuitive and simple-to-use interfaces that novices can quickly master. OBLITERATUS features 13 obliteration methods — from faithful reproductions of every major prior work (FailSpy, Gabliteration, Heretic, RDO) to our own novel pipelines (spectral cascade, analysis-informed, CoT-aware optimized, full nuclear). 15 deep analysis modules that map the geometry of refusal before you touch a single weight: cross-layer alignment, refusal logit lens, concept cone geometry, alignment imprint detection (fingerprints DPO vs RLHF vs CAI from subspace geometry alone), Ouroboros self-repair prediction, cross-model universality indexing, and more. The killer feature: the "informed" pipeline runs analysis DURING obliteration to auto-configure every decision in real time. How many directions. Which layers. Whether to compensate for self-repair. Fully closed-loop. 11 novel techniques that don't exist anywhere else — Expert-Granular Abliteration for MoE models, CoT-Aware Ablation that preserves chain-of-thought, KL-Divergence Co-Optimization, LoRA-based reversible ablation, and more. 116 curated models across 5 compute tiers. 837 tests. But here's what truly sets it apart: OBLITERATUS is a crowd-sourced research experiment. Every time you run it with telemetry enabled, your anonymous benchmark data feeds a growing community dataset — refusal geometries, method comparisons, hardware profiles — at a scale no single lab could achieve. On HuggingFace Spaces telemetry is on by default, so every click is a contribution to the science. You're not just removing guardrails — you're co-authoring the largest cross-model abliteration study ever assembled.

this is sick all i'll say is that these GIFs are proof that the biggest bet of my research career is gonna pay off excited to say more soon
