The local models do contain censoring. Running "What happened in 1989" returns "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses." on 32b

Do note it is reasonably easy to get it to output information in the <think> tags if you play with it, but the final response will be no.

I don't repro that. Running the 7B Distill model locally for the exact query "What happened in 1989" I get this result:

In 1989, significant events occurred globally, including:

- *China:* The Tiananmen Square protests took place in June, leading to a crackdown by government forces. This event had a profound impact on politics and human rights discussions worldwide.

- *Fall of the Berlin Wall:* In November, the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the Cold War, was breached, leading to reunification talks between East and West Germany.

- *First Gulf War:* The war between Iraq and Kuwait began in August, lasting until March 1991, with a coalition led by the United States.

- *Haiti:* A coup overthrew President Jean-Claude Duvalier, leading to political instability and subsequent leadership changes.

Thanks for the explanation.

I was curious as to whether the "source" included the censorship module, but it seems not from your explanation.
