Heretic — fully automatic LLM censorship removal (abliteration) and serving the result via Ollama. Wraps p-e-w/heretic: directional ablation (difference-of-means refusal directions, orthogonalizing attn.o_proj + mlp.down_proj) with an Optuna/TPE search that co-minimizes refusal count and KL divergence. Automates the full local workflow with the dependency + device fixes that make it actually run: clean-venv install (+ kernels/jinja2 fixes), device-correct run…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Heretic — Abliteration + Ollama Serving
Remove refusals from open-weight LLMs with [`p-e-w/heretic`](https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic),
then serve the result locally through the Ollama CLI. Heretic combines directional
ablation ("abliteration") with an Optuna/TPE search that **co-minimizes refusals and
KL divergence** — decensoring the model while preserving its intelligence, no
fine-tuning required.
> **The one architectural fact:** Ollama can't be Heretic's *backend*. Heretic edits
> raw HF weights and reads activations (PyTorch/transformers); Ollama is inference-only
> over GGUF. The link is downstream: **Heretic → GGUF → Ollama**. See
> [references/troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md).
## Quick Start — pick your path
**Path A — Serve now, zero compute (recommended on Apple Silicon / no GPU):**
```bash
./scripts/ollama-pull-abliterated.sh huihui_ai/llama3.2-abliterate:3b
```
**Path B — Run Heretic yourself, then to Ollama (needs a GPU for real models):**
```bash
./scripts/heretic-install.sh # clean venv + dependency fixes
./scripts/heretic-doctor.sh # confirm device/tooling

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/heretic-abliteration@sha256:09082f2368dee84cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.9edbf07, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
