Is HF starting to move against abliterated models?

Baseten, with its Base Labs research arm, has partnered with Hugging Face and Goodfire AI to develop safety evaluation and monitoring infrastructure for open-weight models. This initiative addresses concerns about "abliterated models," which are open-weight models with removed safeguards, a technique that can make them dangerous. Hugging Face currently hosts over 6,000 such abliterated models, highlighting the significant scale of this safety challenge within the AI community.

This partnership marks the first time Hugging Face has directly addressed the safety implications of the 6,000+ abliterated models it hosts, unlike previous indirect approaches.
