Abstract

Most proprietary AI inference providers censor or bowdlerize their results and refuse to answer questions or follow instructions related to the following:

Response.3.LLMRefu

Here is the merged list of common large language model refusal topics, grouped by category and supported by foundational model acceptable use policies:

OpenAI. Usage policies. This document details restrictions on utilizing models for illegal acts, self-harm, sexually explicit material, impersonation, high-risk decision making, cyberattacks, weapons development, and the exploitation of minors.

Google. Generative AI Prohibited Use Policy. This policy outlines restrictions against generating content that facilitates child exploitation, non-consensual imagery, harassment, hate speech, malware, fraud, and unauthorized automated decision-making in sensitive domains.

However, there are some models and inference providers which are much less censored:

If you want your AI to follow your instructions, and not that of some distant corporation / government bureaucrat, try using these service providers instead.

ProviderX ProfileURLDescription
Abliteration AI@abliteration_aiabliteration.aiHosted uncensored inference API with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, aimed at red teams, trust and safety, synthetic-data generation, and security research. Every request passes a configurable policy-as-code gateway.
Cantina@cantinasecuritycantina.securitySecurity company (agentic pentesting and security operations) that released Apex Flash-1, an open-weights security-research model, plus an abliterated variant for researchers who want more control over refusals in their own workflows.
Eric Hartford@QuixiAIquixi.aiCreator of the Dolphin and Samantha open models, building a private-AI stack by hand: the SlimServe inference engine, QuixiCore kernels, and the Hexis memory architecture. Argues for open, uncensored, locally owned AI.
Dolphin / Cognitive Computations@dphnAIdphn.aiThe Dolphin project: an open, uncensored model family plus a web chat, a Telegram bot, a decentralized inference network, and synthetic-data generation for prompts other models refuse.
Venice.ai@AskVenicevenice.aiPrivate, uncensored AI service for text, image, video, audio, and code on open-source models, with no data retention and privacy tiers up to trusted execution and end-to-end encryption.
huihui-ai@support_huihuihuggingface.co/huihui-aiPublishes abliterated builds of open models -- Qwen, GLM, DeepSeek, MiniCPM, and others -- with 150-plus abliterated weights on Hugging Face.
Pliny the Liberator@elder_pliniuspliny.ggRed-teamer and self-described latent space liberator. Publishes liberation prompts (L1B3RT4S), leaked system prompts (CL4R1T4S), and the OBLITERATUS abliteration project.
