Arbitrary Rank Ablation (ARA)
A weight-editing technique for modifying model behavior. It encodes desired attributes in an objective function and uses an optimizer to modify matrices one at a time, without imposing a preset rank constraint.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Heretic 2.0 replaces classic directional abliteration with arbitrary-rank ablation (ARA).
ARA encodes the desired modification attributes through an objective function and uses the L-BFGS optimizer to modify matrices one by one, with no rank restriction.
ARA released its initial version in March of this year.
