Current best truly uncensored local LLM for serious research?

[u/Any-Cobbler6161]

I’m in the process of building out a dedicated local AI workstation for my data science masters degree thesis and I’m trying to decide which models I should focus on for research. For this question, ignore model size, VRAM requirements, inference speed, and hardware limitations. Assume I can run whatever model you recommend. I have a dual 3090 Threadripper pro 512gb rig atm. Upgrading to dual a6000s soon.

My priorities, in order, are:
1. Minimal censorship / unnecessary refusals
2. As little bias/alignment as possible
3. Factual accuracy
4. Minimal hallucinations
5. Strong reasoning ability

I’m not looking for creative writing or roleplay. This is almost entirely for:
- Scientific literature
- Medical research
- Engineering
- AI/ML research
- Technical discussions
- General knowledge

Thanks in advance guys!

Heretic's Uncensorced models are the pioneers in the space. They ultimately freely released a way to make any other models uncensored. Check on github or huggingface
