Projected Abliteration
replied to grimjim's post 4 days ago
I've uploaded abliteration code with support for sparsification of the refusal vector. It's poorly documented, but the code should be straightforward. https://github.com/jim-plus/llm-abliteration The code is built atop a fork that enabled abliteration to be performed on models loaded in 4-bit or 8-bit bitsandbytes quantization. TransformerLens is not required, just plain Transformers. For those previously unaware, this opens up abliteration experimentation to more people with local VRAM limitations. Since performing abliteration on a quant involves precision and perplexity loss, it stands to reason that a small amount of magnitude sparsification could filter out some noise and possibly even reduce the damage inflicted on latent space via ablation of the refusal vector. There's a small but real acceleration of ablation of the refusal vector by reducing outer product operations from O(d²×n) to O(d×n), and then by pushing said computation layerwise to GPU. The code is hardcoded for CUDA acceleration currently. Normalization of the refusal vector was deferred in order to allow sparsification. In principle other behavior vector interventions could also be added and explored.
