I believe abliterated models are mostly still created at this point because they're "universal": they can not only be run locally, and on cloud GPUs, but also on "managed inference" providers (i.e. services where yo

On the opposite end of the spectrum from this idea, I've been thinking for a long time now that much of what's weird/redundant about Unicode comes from its self-synchronization requirement. And that you could create a very co

They probably rephrased it from some more technical form like "we compressed the model by a factor of 9" or "we've improved the packing efficiency of the model by 9x". Where these are measurements of the transformat

Why are you assuming abuse by parents is solely being targeted at the opposing team’s players? Parents may just as well be shouting at their own kid for what they see as “sub-optimal” play, and at their kid’s teammates for what they see as

Nope; the lockscreen camera is actually an entirely different app, or not-quite-app thing. (Note what happens when you open the camera roll in the lockscreen camera.)

That depends! A boiled or fried egg is processed , but not ultra -processed. (The ovalbumin matrix in egg is denatured but not destroyed by just heating it up. Just like the protein matrix in a steak is denatured-but-not-destroyed by ju

Perhaps it is a non-Chinese fine-tune of a parent Chinese model, and they’re actively trying to update the model by ablating the trained-in censorship out as it’s revealed in the response logs.
