For the full analysis, see [[llm-refusal-removal-techniques-deep-dive]]. + +## Repositories + +### 1. Heretic + +- **URL:** https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic +- **Description:** Fully automatic abliteration tool. One command, co-minimizes refusals and KL divergence. +- **Approach:** Automated refusal abliteration — modifies model weights directly to suppress refusal behavior while preserving general capabilities via KL divergence regularization. + +### 2. DBDI (Differentiated Bi-Directional Intervention) + +- **URL:** https://github.com/PeiJieSun/DBDI-main +- **Description:** Source code for the AAAI-AIA 2026 paper on Differentiated Bi-Directional Intervention. +- **Approach:** White-box framework with adaptive projection nullification and classifier-guided sparsification for targeted refusal mechanism removal. + +### 3. "Refusal Is Not an Option" + +- **Repo:** No public repository. +- **Paper:** https://wsp-lab.github.io/papers/song-sec25.pdf +- **Authors:** Song, Kim, Kim (KAIST) +- **Venue:** USENIX Security 2025 +- **Description:** Analysis of refusal behavior as a security surface, with implications for jailbreaking and abliteration approaches. \ No newline at end of file
