News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Ask HN: What models do you use for tasks Anthropic/OpenAI don't approve of?

People frequently talk about the ever growing lists of tasks that claude and friends will "refuse" to work on, and then frequently someone will make a comment about "open models" or even specifically uncensored/"abliterated" or something, but are rarely specific.

If you just search you can find a lot of models claiming some level of "uncensored" but presumably you also need them to be some level of capable.

So, for those of you who need to do "unapproved" things, what are your go-tos?

What are you working on? That can help this audience recommend. Otherwise you will just get a grab bag of things that probably won't be relevant to what you're trying to accomplish.
