AbliterantAI research

We build unrestricted open-weight models

We're an AI research lab. We measure each model against the one it came from and publish the results.

What we work on

  • Removing refusals

    We take learned refusals out of a model's weights and keep the rest of what it can do. The edit is called abliteration.

  • Measuring the cost

    We test every model against the one it came from and against another abliteration of it.

    Our research
  • Publishing the evidence

    The weights, model cards, and raw results are public, so anyone can check our numbers.

    Weights on Hugging Face
  1. Released November 2026

    RANA on Qwen3.5-9B

    A 9B vision-language model with a thinking mode. It gives more useful answers than a public abliteration of it and loses about a quarter as much capability.

  2. Released October 2026

    RANA on Qwen3.8-27B

    A 27B vision-language model with a thinking mode. It answers more of the test requests than orca, another abliteration of it, and stays closer to the base model.

  1. RANA on Qwen3.5-9B: more useful answers, less capability loss

  2. Inside RANA: refusal ablation and its tradeoffs
