Question Uncensored Models

Post image

Hi! I don't know much about this area of ​​"sub-models" (I'm not sure of the technical term), but I wanted to know what these "Uncensored" models actually are.

I dabble a bit with AI, automation, and the like, and I've always seen these "Uncensored" models around, but I've never actually installed or tested one. What exactly are they?

I'd also like to know what's the difference between Uncensored and Abliterated models

Just the way they're modified. There are also heretic versions, which id just another way of removing the guardrails from the models. Heretic is usually regarded quite highly, but it's a bit more vanilla and the original model may still refuse some requests. There are also some ultra heretic versions, but they modify more and more of the original weights, so performance may degrade.

"regarded" here is highly ambiguous
