The Financial Times has published an article about Heretic

“The FT was able to use Heretic, a tool available on the popular code repository GitHub, to remove the guardrails from Meta’s Llama 3.3 model in less than 10 minutes without any specialist hardware.” “Heretic creator Philipp Emanuel Weidmann told the FT his software had been used to create than 3,500 “decensored” models since its release last year and that modified systems created using the tool had been downloaded 13mn times.” This is the first of multiple press inquiries I’ve had recently as Heretic and uncensored language models are gaining mainstream attention.
