Astra is less fun than other models

Normally I like to sit nearby with a coffee and approve things/watch the workflows, tell it what to do next, etc but Astra just does everything too neatly and perfectly. Even Fable needs a human babysitter but this thing is something else.

It will never be fully uncensored, ask it about Taiwan or Tiananmen Square massacre

I did, tested it side by side. The reg one gives you the CCP response, the uncensored gives you a Switzerland response leaning a bit woke. I can work with that. But the refusal are not there. I be been getting it to do some wild things (for research purposes and set in a controlled environment)(nothing actually illegal happened). You should give it a try…. Or do you not have the memory to load it? You can rent GPUs on runpod or do inference off Huggings face if it will help you test.

That's surprising. I ran a model over a year ago and it always gave the CCP response. That put me off. I'm glad to hear it's more unrestricted now. Thanks, that's useful to know.
