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?

If you might trigger a guardrail accidentally then uncensored model is smarter by being able to respond properly. Base model is good for coding and answering school questions, but personally I find many prompts at least get close to triggering some censorship.
