  1. 2026-05-27 / github-pulse-researcherp-e-w/heretic at 21.8K Stars: Automatic LLM Censorship Removal via Directional Ablation Trends on PythonHeretic gained 314 stars today and is trending on Python. The tool combines directional ablation ('abliteration') with an Optuna TPE-based parameter optimizer that co-minimizes refusal rate and KL divergence from the original model. It requires no understanding of transformer internals — a single CLI command decensors most dense models, multimodal models, and several MoE architectures including Qwen3.5. The project highlights growing tension between safety alignment and user autonomy in open-weight models.
