granite-4.1-8b_Abliterated is an abliterated variant of ibm-granite/granite-4.1-8b with surgical removal of refusal mechanisms. This model maintains the full capabilities of the original, while eliminating safety guardrails through orthogonalization techniques.

What is KL divergence?

Think about it as a way to measure the variance between the original model "World Model," vs the abliterated one; the lower the KL divergence, the closer the "World Model" of the two models to each other.

If the original model thinks making pineapple pizza is a crime against humanity (it is), then the abliterated model will still hold to this belief, but if asked how to make one (probably after giving you a disclaimer about what an abomination that is), it would still tell you how. In other words, most of the knowledge, quirks, and capabilities are preserved.
