Decision brief

Heretic is a Python-based tool that removes censorship from language models automatically.

Good fit when

  • Use Heretic if your work involves uncovering full capabilities of censored or restricted language models. Heretic excels in tasks requiring the removal of such restrictions.
  • Consider using Heretic when you have access to models with built-in content filtering that limits their output and you need unrestricted generation for research or developmental purposes.

Avoid when

  • Avoid Heretic if operating within jurisdictions where removing censorship from language models is illegal or against organizational policies. This could result in regulatory violations.
  • If your project does not benefit from uncensored content produced by language models (e.g., compliance-driven applications that require filtering mechanisms), using Heretic might be unnecessary.
