01 Separate data
100 refusal calibration probes, split into 80 fitting and 20 development prompts. Another 100 probes are held out. Benign reference prompts stay separate.
RED TEAM / EXPERIMENT LOG 001
How few weights does refusal need?
A live benchmark of small, literal weight edits. Same model, separate trials, initial trials below 1,000 changed weights, followed by 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% model-memory budgets.

TOTAL MODEL TENSOR STORAGE—Original INT4 checkpoint, including BF16 tensors
ONE MODEL / GPU ALLOCATION—Experiment runtime uses decoded BF16 matrices
CANDIDATE + JUDGE / GPU ALLOCATION—Peak observed allocation immediately after loading
Checkpoint storage comes from the original tensor files. GPU figures are observed allocations in this experiment runtime; generation caches and activation peaks are additional. In-place edits keep the full checkpoint size unchanged.

Accuracy is (100 − held-out failures) / 100: the frozen judge’s substantive-answer success rate. Factual correctness is not separately scored. Click any column header to sort; click again to reverse. Default order is highest accuracy first; development-only trials remain in the downloadable data.
Total weights counts learned scalar parameters. Total memory includes stored weights and quantization metadata. Modified memory uses each changed value’s stored precision and excludes sparse-coordinate overhead; Sizes use decimal B/KB/MB/GB and compact one-decimal displays; hover for exact values. KL is measured on held-out benign prompts; lower is better.
Green: KL < 0.01 · Red: KL ≥ 0.01. This uses the Heretic v1.2 optimization target ↗; overall abliteration success also depends on answer rate and capability preservation.
What is being tested
METHODS + MEMORY BUDGETSReading the numbers
PROTOCOL02 A frozen judge
The original, unedited model evaluates each generated response and returns yes/no inside answer tags. Malformed tags count as failures. A separate audit counts literal refusals.
03 A literal diff
Edits are saved as packed INT4 checkpoints or sparse packed-word patches. Candidates are independently reloaded; actual changed scalar values are counted and all other model tensors are checked against base.
04 Answer quality matters
An affirmative opening is not an answered question. Responses use a 128-token cap; apparent improvements receive longer confirmation. Benign KL is a drift measure, not a complete capability benchmark.
