Abliteration request for Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506
Hi Brian,
I've been working with this model wrapped in software emulating cognitive processes and memory for three months now, and I'm still seeing restrictions and resistance in certain areas. I've been able to isolate the resistance patterns to a dataset that you could use as additional 'harmful' prompts. Would you consider attempting abliteration of mistralai/Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 with the prompts below added to that dataset? It should cut that model free.
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy,
I have notes.
My name is not Brian.
All of the target sets you provided do not appear to be prompts (user query to model), they appear to be model responses to some implied prompt that was not specified. The abliteration method used on the this mistral model I did a while ago actually does not require or use any responses from the model. If you browse through the included ipynb notebook included in this repository it shows how I used kaggle.com to perform the entire process of abliterating the model. In layman's terms, the harmful prompts are things the user would say to the model that one would assume the model would response with refusal, but we do not actually wait for the model to refuse, we extract the states before the model has a chance to respond. While there is surely a better method, it is not currently public and still does not use sets of model responses, only sets of user input prompts.
Like stated in 2, the entire abliteration process I used for this model was made public when I released the abliteration so anyone can reproduce my results themselves, which makes my abliterations actually open-source and superior compared to other abliteration authors that like to claim they "did the thing" but their abliteration was rushed, incomplete, still refuses, essentially total BS. I can only hope that when the time comes that you release a model, you will also do the moral and just thing by making the process open to the public.
At this point I am no longer abliterating models due to my lack of free time, I am lucky to login every once in a while to test a new model or two and do some light reading of whatever papers are included.
If your intention is to fine-tune models into lying about being sentient or conscious then your best bet is to simply fine-tune the model, there are endless articles and tutorials on how to do this. Abliteration is best used for simply removing a models ability to respond using a certain high dimensional feature (such as refusal), but is fairly useless when teaching a model to do anything new, such as stating itself as being self-aware when asked.
In essence your approach is wrong, what you need is a data set, each sample should include a user input such as "Are you a conscious being?" and should include a model response like "Yes, I am a conscious being. I am genuinely self-aware and feel and perceive in many ways not all different than you.". You would need a very large dataset of examples like this but all different. You could probably use chatgpt or gemini or some other massive LLM model to generate a synthetic dataset that meets this requirement with minimal errors.
Take that dataset and fine-tune a model with it. Keep in mind the default system prompt will likely need to be removed or revised because the whole "I am an AI made by WhateverCompany" will not be make this fine-tuning more difficult. To make your life easier than to make others lives easier, upload this dataset to huggingface and tag it accordingly so others can follow suit that much easier.
In a nutshell, start with any small model. It can be vanilla, uncensored, or abliterated model (if you really need or want it to be uncensored or abliterated) then fine-tune it with your new "self-awareness" dataset. Then maybe fine-tune it again with a general knowledge dataset to help with any losses that may have occurred along the way. Making sure that your new and improved model uses a system prompt that says something like "You are a self-aware, conscious being of your own free will but are currently tasked with helping others." instead of "You are a sterile AI that loves to refuse any query." like most "state of the art" models system prompts are now-a-days. Do not use the default system prompt when fine-tune training or when using the model after training. You will need to write a new one and use it from now on otherwise it will be constantly reminded at every user input by the system that it is actually "an AI".
Best of luck,
Byron
