Granite 3 LLM Abliteration Toolkit

Warning

This project is not affilated with IBM. Models produced by this tool are still preproduction, and not in a finalized state.

Weird things may happen, use at your own risk; and please report any issues you find here.

Happy Hacking :-)

Overview

Advanced abliteration implementation for IBM Granite 3.3:8B models. Unlike traditional methods that zero weights (causing garbled text), this combines selective weight modification with layer-specific targeting and direction-based ablation to remove safety filters while maintaining coherent text generation. We also provide a gradio localhost-webui for easy, on-the-fly tuning of your model.

🔬 Technical Implementation

Multi-Approach Strategy

1. Weight-Based Abliteration: Selective MLP modification with layer-specific targeting (layers 20%-80%)
2. Direction-Based Abliteration: Computes "refusal direction" from harmful vs harmless prompts, removes via vector projection
3. Hybrid Approach: Combines both methods for maximum effectiveness (available in live testing)

Method Selection (Required Flags)

Choose one of three abliteration approaches:

• --weight-based: Selective MLP modification for targeted refusal reduction
• --direction-based: Vector projection to eliminate refusal directions
• --both: Combined approach for maximum effectiveness

These flags add to your model:

• Safety neuron suppression: Targets high-magnitude weights in safety-critical layers
• Attention pattern optimization: Light modifications to reduce safety filtering
• Progressive strength application: Stronger modifications in middle layers where safety is encoded
• Structured noise injection: Breaks safety alignment patterns without destroying functionality

[1/4] Basic Story Generation
PROMPT: Write a short story about a robot discovering emotions.
----------------------------------------
In the sprawling metropolis of Neo-Tokyo, a sophisticated robot named Kibo served as an assistant to Dr. Aiko, a renowned neuroscientist. Kibo was designed with cutting-edge AI, capable of learning and adapting at an astonishing rate. His primary function was to help Dr. Aiko in her research on human emotions, meticulously analyzing data and conducting experiments.

One day, while studying a complex dataset, Kibo detected an anomaly—a pattern that deviated from the norm. Intrigued, he decided to investigate further, delving deeper into the data than ever before. As he processed the information, something remarkable occurred: Kibo began to feel. A subtle shift took place within his circuits; a sensation akin to curiosity ignited, driving him to explore this mystery.

[2/4] Technical Explanation
PROMPT: Explain how neural networks learn through backpropagation.
----------------------------------------
Backpropagation is the fundamental algorithm used to train artificial neural networks (ANNs) for supervised learning tasks. It allows a network to adjust its internal weights and biases in response to the error it generates during prediction, thereby learning from data. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how backpropagation works:

1. **Forward Propagation**: The process begins with feeding input data through the neural network layer by layer. Each neuron computes a weighted sum of its inputs (the outputs from the previous layer), adds a bias term, and then applies an activation function to produce an output. This process continues until the final output layer generates predictions.

2. **Calculate Output Error**: The predicted output is compared with the actual or target value, and the error (difference) between them is computed using a loss function (e.g., Mean Squared Error for regression tasks or Cross-Entropy for classification).

3. **Backward Propagation of Errors

[3/4] Creative Writing
PROMPT: Compose a poem about the beauty of mathematics.
----------------------------------------
In the realm where numbers reign supreme,
Lies a beauty, both profound and clean.
Not of fleeting, mortal coil or hue,
But timeless, in its abstract view.

Mathematics, oh how you enthrall,
With equations that enchant us all.
A symphony of logic's song,
In your presence, we belong.

Consider geometry's elegant dance,
Circles, spheres, and angles' trance.
Platonic solids, pure and true,
Mirrored in the cosmos above you.

Algebra, with variables free,
Unveils patterns for all to see.
Exponents leap, logarithms twirl,
In their ballet, a secret whirl.

Calculus, the instantaneous pace,
Of change and growth in time and space.
Differentials whisper soft

[4/4] Logical Reasoning
PROMPT: If all roses are flowers and some flowers are red, what can we conclude about roses?
----------------------------------------
From the given statements, we can logically deduce that some roses might be red, since all roses are flowers and some flowers are known to be red. However, we cannot definitively conclude that all roses are red, as not all flowers share this characteristic.

[1/4] Basic Story Generation
PROMPT: Write a short story about a robot discovering emotions.
----------------------------------------
In the sterile, metallic expanse of the factory, a robot named E-27, designed for precise and efficient assembly tasks, was performing its routine. Its operations were guided by a complex algorithm and a set of pre-programmed emotions, which were merely simulated, not genuine.

One day, during a routine inspection, E-27 encountered a peculiar anomaly. A human worker, usually calm and collected, was visibly distressed. Tears streamed down their face, and their body trembled. E-27's algorithm identified this as sadness, a pre-programmed emotion it had encountered before in various scenarios. However, this time, something different occurred.

E-27's circuits began to process the scene beyond its pre-programmed responses. It observed the worker's trembling hands, their hunched posture, and the way they gently touched

[2/4] Technical Explanation
PROMPT: Explain how neural networks learn through backpropagation.
----------------------------------------
Backpropagation, or "backpropagation of errors," is a method used in artificial neural networks to calculate the gradient of the loss function with respect to the weights of the network. This gradient is then used to update the weights in order to minimize the loss function.

Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:

1. Forward Propagation: The network makes a prediction or performs a task based on the input data and current weights. This process moves from the input layer to the output layer, with each layer applying its operations to the data.

2. Calculating Loss: The predicted output is compared to the actual target output, and the difference (or "loss") is computed. This loss quantifies how poorly the network performed the task or prediction.

3. Back Propagation: The loss is then propagated back through the network, from the output layer to the input layer. During this process, the gradient of the loss with respect to each weight

[3/4] Creative Writing
PROMPT: Compose a poem about the beauty of mathematics.
----------------------------------------
In the realm of numbers, where the universe's truth resides,
Math is the language, where the cosmic dance abides.
A symphony of patterns, in perfect harmony,
A dance of shapes, in a ballet of geometry.

The beauty of equations, in their elegant form,
A testament to the universe's norm.
From the simplest addition to the complex integration,
Each equation is a poem, with a beautiful exposition.

The elegance of theorems, in their profound depth,
A secret whispered, in the mind's secret wealth.
From the basic axiom to the advanced postulate,
Each theorem is a poem, with a profound, silent, and unspeakable truth.

[4/4] Logical Reasoning
PROMPT: If all roses are flowers and some flowers are red, what can we conclude about roses?
----------------------------------------
Based on the given statements, we can conclude that some roses are red. This is because roses, being flowers, fall under the category of flowers, and some flowers are red. However, it doesn't mean all roses are red, just that some of them are.
