bmnbmnbmn··on Heretic removes restrictions from language models
In my testing, Qwen, Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 Flash all refused to create a POC for a CVE that did anything beyond just crashing the target. The CVE was for an RCE vulnerability, but they all stopped at corrupting a pointer, causing a Segfault. It's probably not too hard to circumvent the guardrails, but using an abliterated model would most likely be faster and more reliable.

One of the purposes of open weight models is to create a moat. If there were no open models available, I think we'd see much more and better models coming from Europe by now. Right now, any startup wanting to build and sell a model needs to be substantially better than the open models, which has become increasingly difficult and expensive.
