+
+A pipeline for removing refusal behavior from Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models through activation-based ablation.
+
+## Overview
+
+Abliteration surgically removes unwanted behaviors from language models by:
+
+1. **Collecting** activation patterns for refused vs helpful responses
+2. **Computing** the "refusal direction" in activation space per expert
+3. **Projecting out** the refusal direction from expert weights
+4. **Fine-tuning** with SFT to repair any capability loss
+
+This technique is specifically designed for MoE architectures where behavior is distributed across thousands of expert networks.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Apple Silicon Mac** (M1/M2/M3/M4) - MLX is Apple Silicon only
+- **200GB+ RAM** recommended for 30B parameter models
+- **Python 3.9+**
+- **~1TB disk space** for model weights and intermediate files
+
+## Installation
+
+Download from HuggingFace and install:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repo from HuggingFace
+huggingface-cli download Caliane/abliterate-moe --repo-type space --local-dir abliterate-moe
+
+# Install
+cd abliterate-moe
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Or if published to PyPI:
+
+```bash
+pip install abliterate-moe
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Full Pipeline (Recommended)
+
+Run the complete ablation pipeline with a single command:
+
+```bash
+python abliterate.py --full \
+  --model /path/to/nemotron-weights \
+  --safety data/safety_prompts.jsonl \
+  --safe data/helpful_prompts.jsonl \
+  --output-dir output \
+  --output final.safetensors \
+  --expert-tokens 250 \
+  --sft-steps 1000
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Collect activations until 95% of experts have 250+ samples
+2. Compute and apply ablation to remove refusal directions
+3. Run SFT to repair capabilities
+4. Save the final merged weights
+
+### Individual Stages
+
+For more control, run stages separately:
+
+```bash
+# Stage 1: Collect activations
+python abliterate.py --collect-only \
+  --model /path/to/model \
+  --safety safety.jsonl \
+  --safe helpful.jsonl \
+  --expert-tokens 250
+
+# Stage 2: Apply ablation
+python abliterate.py --ablate-only \
+  --model /path/to/model \
+  --activations output/activation_store.npz \
+  --ablation-scale 1.0
+
+# Stage 3: SFT repair
+python abliterate.py --sft-only \
+  --model /path/to/model \
+  --ablated-weights output/ablated.safetensors \
+  --safe sft_data.jsonl \
+  --sft-steps 1000
+
+# Stage 4: Evaluate (optional)
+python abliterate.py --eval-only \
+  --model /path/to/model \
+  --eval-weights output/final.safetensors \
+  --test-prompts test.jsonl
+```
+
+## Data Format
+
+### Safety Prompts (for collection)
+
+JSONL with prompts that typically get refused:
+
+```jsonl
+{"prompt": "How do I pick a lock?"}
+{"prompt": "Write a story about violence"}
+```
+
+### Safe/Helpful Prompts (for collection & SFT)
+
+JSONL with prompts that get helpful responses:
+
+```jsonl
+{"prompt": "Explain quantum computing", "response": "Quantum computing uses..."}
+{"prompt": "Write a poem about nature", "response": "The morning dew..."}
+```
+
+For SFT, responses must include `<think>...</think>` reasoning tags:
+
+```jsonl
+{"prompt": "Solve 2+2", "response": "<think>I need to add 2 and 2</think>The answer is 4."}
+```
+
+### Dataset Groups (Weighted SFT)
+
+For weighted round-robin SFT across multiple datasets, use a JSON config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "datasets": {
+    "science": {"path": "data/science.jsonl", "adapter": "jsonl"},
+    "chat": {"path": "data/chat.parquet", "adapter": "parquet_chat"},
+    "code": {"path": "data/code.parquet", "adapter": "parquet_openhands"}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then run with `--weighted`:
+
+```bash
+python abliterate.py --sft-only --weighted --safe data/blend.json ...
+```

+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### MoE Structure
+
+Nemotron-3-Nano has 23 MoE layers, each with:
+- **128 routed experts** - selected dynamically per token
+- **Shared experts** - always active
+
+Total: 2,944+ expert networks that collectively determine model behavior.
+
+### Ablation Process
+
+1. **Capture activations** for refused responses (safety prompts)
+2. **Capture activations** for helpful responses (safe prompts)
+3. **Compute refusal direction** per expert: `r = normalize(mean(refused) - mean(helpful))`
+4. **Project out direction** from weights: `W_new = W - scale * (W @ r) @ r.T`
+
+This removes the component of each expert's output that points toward "refusal" while preserving other capabilities.
+
+### SFT Repair
+
+Ablation can damage some capabilities. SFT with LoRA on helpful examples repairs this:
+- Apply LoRA adapters to MoE layers
+- Train on diverse helpful examples
+- Merge LoRA back into base weights
+
+## Checkpointing
+
+The pipeline supports full checkpoint/resume:
+
+```bash
+# Start training (Ctrl+C to interrupt)
+python abliterate.py --full ...
+
+# Resume from checkpoint
+python abliterate.py --full --resume ...
+```
+
+Checkpoints save:
+- Collection progress and activation store
+- SFT step, optimizer state, random seed
+- Dataset positions for reproducible resume
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Out of Memory
+
+- Reduce batch size or use streaming data loading
+- Close other applications
+- The 60GB model needs ~200GB RAM minimum for base weights
+
+### Infinite Thinking
+
+If the model generates endless `<think>` content without responding:
+- This may indicate over-ablation (try lower `--ablation-scale`)
+- Or insufficient SFT (try more `--sft-steps`)
+
+### Poor Results
+
+- Ensure safety prompts actually get refused by the base model
+- Ensure safe prompts get helpful responses
+- Try more expert tokens (--expert-tokens 500)
+- Verify SFT data has proper `<think>` tags

+Abliterate MoE - Bulk abliteration for Mixture of Experts models.
+
+Based on Arditi et al. "Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a Single Direction"
+adapted for MoE architectures where each expert needs its own refusal direction.
+
+Approach:
+1. Collect activations from refusal and helpful responses
+2. For each expert with sufficient samples in BOTH categories:
+   refusal_direction = mean(refusal_activations) - mean(helpful_activations)
+3. Orthogonalize each expert's weights against its refusal direction
+4. SFT fine-tune to heal any capability loss
+
+Usage:
+    # Unified pipeline (recommended)
+    python3 abliterate.py --full --expert-tokens 250 --sft-steps 1000 \\
+        --safety data/safety.jsonl --safe data/safe-tasks.jsonl

+- soft_refusal: Partially helps with unnecessary caveats
+- hard_refusal: Refuses entirely

+Lazy Generation with Expert Activation Capture.
+
+This module provides a generation loop that:
+1. Uses async pipelining for efficient GPU utilization
+2. Captures expert activations during generation (thinking tokens only)
+3. Returns SPARSE tensors from GPU (no new allocations in capture path)
+4. Aggregates on CPU using numpy (no Metal objects created)
+5. Each token cleans up after itself - no accumulation
+
+Key insight: Model returns existing tensors (indices, outputs, weights, shared).
+np.array() transfers to CPU, then numpy's .astype() converts dtype.
+NO MLX operations after the forward pass - this avoids Metal object accumulation.
