  Not sure if you understand how LLMs work. But the guard rails are intrinsic to the model itself. You cant just have a toggle.

    Yes, you very much can. One very simple way to do so is to have two variants deployed: the censored one, and the uncensored one. The switch simply changes between which of the two you are using. You have to juggle two variants now across your inference infrastructure, but I expect OpenAI to be able to deal with this already due to A/B testing requirements. And it's not like these companies don't have internal-only uncensored versions of these models for red teaming etc, so you aren't spending money building something new. It should be possible to do with just one variant also, I think. The chat tuning pipeline could teach the model to censor itself if a given special token is present in the system message. The toggle changes between including that special token in the underlying system prompt of that chat session, or not. No idea if that's reliable or not, but in principle I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
