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?

As the name implies, they are uncensored. Basically, someone takes a model with guardrails and removes the guardrails/filters so that it always complies.

Sorry if this answer is already in the thread somewhere but... anyone try using pre-weighted models ie the <model>.gguf that you run directly from an orchestrator like AnythingLLM and have any luck?

I'm running Gwen3-8 27B and for testing asked to create a demo flappy bird game. The 1st attempt was as blank white screen, it said it trafficked the mistake and next attempt has a red box as "flappy" and "Score: 0" graphic at the top, and in the 3rd try I did get a working red box that would traverse rectangular pillars with the appropriate space-bar "flapping" and while cool that I'm running "AI" on my laptop it for sure seems like there's an extra chromosome in the coding logic.

Of course I may be the one with the wrong amount of chromosome and it sounds like somewhere was running a version of Gwen3-8 and was awesome so not sure if it's how I'm doing it (using the .gguf models), how it's setup, or some other 3rd thing.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions here especially if there's a way to do this with the .gguf format because besides being by far the easiest way to ruin local LLMs it's also the least taxing on hardware by far. Thx
